Of course there are some remaining things:

- Octave starts off with a "-K>>" prompt (JD I think you mentioned this) and no blinking cursor (bug #39259)

 

Do you start octave from the MSYS shell?

If you do, try to unset TERM variable, like: TERM= octave.exe

 

Michael.

 

 

Unsetting term works for me

 

The problem is that octave inherits TERM from the shell, I think it's set to something like cygwin or rxvt (I don't remember). And readline then starts sending control sequences that are not understood by the windows terminal.

Make sense to me and I should have realized that was the issue J

 

On mine:

$ echo $TERM

cygwin
