Description
When running jupyter console from the terminal and entering the pdb (ipdb) debugger, arrow keys and and other keys are not interpreted correctly. I've tried to find a fix for this and have not found anything.
Reproduce
To reproduce, I'll show a difference between the correct behavior when running using ipython and incorrect behavior within jupyter console.
- Create and activate a fresh virtualenv using python3.9 (same behavior occurs with python3.11)
pip install jupyter
ipython works as expected
- Start ipython, create an exception, and drop into pdb using the
%debugmagic line:
$ ipython
Python 3.9.18 (main, Aug 24 2023, 21:20:15)
Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information
IPython 8.18.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.
In [1]: assert False
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AssertionError Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 assert False
AssertionError:
In [2]: %debug
> <ipython-input-1-a871fdc9ebee>(1)<module>()
----> 1 assert False
ipdb>
- Now, at the ipdb prompt, type a few letters and then push the left arrow key. Exact keystrokes:
asdf<left arrow><left arrow>. The cursor moves back as expected:
jupyter console does not work as expected
- Start jupyter console, create an exception, and drop into pdb using the
%debugmagic line:
$ jupyter console
Jupyter console 6.6.3

- Other
readlinestyle keys that usually work also fail here, e.g.C-ato go to the beginning of the line works inipythonbut does not injupyter console.
Expected behavior
Expected: arrow keys that work correctly within ipython would also work within jupyter console.
Actual: jupyter console misinterprets arrow keys.
