Reverse ASCII character map

Question

In Map inputted ASCII characters, I asked you to .. map inputted ASCII characters. This time, you will do the opposite, by immediately mapping all ASCII characters, and then mapping spaces over them.

This program will have practical uses, such as seeing what characters you have left in a restricted-source challenge submission.

Challenge

Your job is to write a program that un-maps inputted ASCII characters. As soon as the program is run, it will display this exact map (except color, font, size, etc.):

Each time the user inputs a printable ASCII character, you will print a space over it.

Rules

• The initial output must be exactly as shown in the first image above: a 6x16 grid with ASCII characters in their respective positions, with the space (32) at the top left and the tilde (126) at one character left from the bottom right.
• Your program only needs to display the printable ASCII characters, 0x20 to 0x7E.
• Your program must not terminate and continue to print spaces over characters until all printable ASCII characters have been overwritten. From here, your program can either terminate or run off into Neverland.
• Your reverse map must be updated in realtime (as soon as it receives user input).
• If your program does not read input silently, it must put the cursor out of the way, so the text won't get in the way of the map.

Here's a useful ASCII table for reference.

] ~Δ8«n"5αx2⁰³⁄¹‘→č@ŗ░T

Try it Here!

Takes input in the input box. I hope that it isn't too big of an issue that characters can be deleted :p

Explanation:

]                   do.. while (popping (which makes the stack not blow up luckily :D))
  ~Δ                push the ascii characters (range("~"))
    8«n             split into lines of length 16
       "...‘        push "inputs.value" (could be 2 bytes less if my dictionary contained the word "inputs". I even added "input", but only now realise that the input box is id=inputs :/)
            →       evaluate as JavaScript, then push the result
             č      chop into characters
              @ŗ    replace each of the characters in the array with space
                ░   clear the output
                 T  output without popping (so do..while continues looping)

JavaScript (ES6) + HTML, 139 136 116 + 10 16 = 132 bytes

-3 bytes thanks to @Shaggy.
-14 bytes inspired by @Arnauld.

for(i=32;i<127;)O[h="innerText"]+=String.fromCharCode(i++)+(i%16?" ":`
`);onkeypress=e=>O[h]=O[h].replace(e.key," ")

<pre id=O></pre>

Closing pre tag is required in this case, since we need the innerText value to start totally empty.

This has no cursor whatsoever. I also have a 47 byte version which might be valid, depending on what is meant by "put the cursor out of the way, so the text won't get in the way of the map":

8000- 20 58 FC A9 A0 20 1B 80
8008- 20 ED FD 1A C9 FF D0 F5
8010- 20 0C FD 20 1B 80 20 57
8018- DB 80 F5 48 38 E9 A0 48
8020- 29 0F 0A 85 24 68 4A 4A
8028- 4A 4A 20 5B FB 68 60

This puts a cursor at the character after the character you type (which is the space between characters), so it won't overwrite any of the actual characters in the map. Whether this is valid or not is up to the creator of the challenge.

Answer 11

Python 2, 96 bytes

from textwrap import*
a=fill(str(bytearray(range(32,127))),16)
while 1:a=a.replace(input(a),' ')

Try it online! Output looks iffy on TIO (because input is passed from a file), but it’s fine interactively. I hope 'A'\n, 'B'\n etc is an okay input format.
