[issue44627] Python terminal cmd line recall

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun <eryksun at gmail.com> added the comment:

By default, reading input from the console uses the console's built-in command-line editor. You can clear the console input history with Alt+F7; display the history list with F7; navigate in the history list with the up and down arrow keys, even when the list isn't displayed; recall the first and last entries of the list with page up and page down; and cycle through matching command completions with F8.

Having said that, the new implementation of the console in Windows 10 has a bug in the "Discard Old Duplicates" history option [1]. Try disabling this option in the console's "Properties" dialog, which can be accessed from the Alt+Space control menu.
