Cmder: cmd history (cursor-up/cursor-down) not working

Created on 18 Feb 2017  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: cmderdev/cmder

VERSION: cmder-1.3.2

When I open a "cmd.exe" window with cmder , the cursor-up/cursor-down semantics (command history) no longer works on one of my PCs. I only see the cryptic ASCII-ESC H or ASCII-ESC M sequences instead of the expected behaviour.

For whatever reason, it is working on another PC.
In addition, the command history is working when I use the bash (with cursor-up/cursor-down).

MAYBE RELATED: Has the fix for the following issue related to bash caused this ?

PROBLEM-CAUSE: %HOME%/.inputrc file (orginally for Cygwin) in my Windows HOME directory.
After I removed/renamed the file, everything works fine again.
NOTE: Problem w/ CURSOR-UP/-DOWN keys was in the cmd-shell (and not the bash; bash was working fine).

Yup, nothing we can do here.

Is there a way to take advantage of the underlying ConEmu workaround?
ConEmu.exe -basic -run {bash} ?
