Follow-up Comment #1:

The key combinations that you have listed are not configured by default by
Octave's inputrc. So you are seeing the expected behavior. I'm not sure that
your expectations are consistent with a normal terminal emulator behavior.

FWIW I have PageUp and PageDown configured to go to beginning of history and
end of history, but it is not configured as such in the default /etc/inputrc
on my distribution. I never use the Insert key for anything. I don't know what
Shift+Delete or Shift+arrow would be expected to do.

Can you describe what you think the behavior of the command window should be?
