Follow-up Comment #9:

Thank you for checking with a different keyboard layout.

To be clear: Ideally Octave would work without issues on any keyboard layout.
If it doesn't, it is a bug.

It would be nice if we had steps to reproduce the issue. Which key presses,
key combinations or key press sequences are the minimum to reproduce the
issue?

Anyways, the fix would probably be to use a replacement for the console host
on Windows. There are ongoing efforts to do that. But it is a longer process.
See e.g.: https://octave.discourse.group/t/new-command-window-widget/501

It's very unlikely that this will be fixed during the Octave 6.x cycle which
is about to end. Setting the release to "dev".

Re-titling to better describe the probable underlying issue.
