  Just in case it helps, invoking octave like this:
"octave --no-line-editing" works. Something readline related?

Hello.

I have been investigating a bit further. It seems that readline 8.3 has a bug that breaks octave:

https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/229296
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2025-07/msg00012.html
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?67357

I have just applied this patch to

/usr/pkgsrc/devel/readline/work/readline-8.3/input.c

after doing "make patch" (sorry, I do not know how to apply canonically to pkgsrc):

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2025-07/txtTYu28QVKRX.txt

I recompiled readline and "make replace".

Now I can write characters in octave prompt.

Regards.
