Console: Arrow keys not working in Bash on Windows 10
Bash on Windows 10 is a new thing, currently available for beta testing by Windows Insiders only.
Running bash.exe or cmd.exe /C bash from Run dialog (Win + R) directly works fine.
Running bash.exe or cmd.exe /C bash from ConsoleZ seems to work too, but arrow keys do not work.
Expected Behavior
Hitting arrow keys (right, left, up, down, home, end) should allow me to navigate the current line of prompt as well as inside editors like vim, nano, etc.
Actual Behavior
Hitting arrow keys has no effects either on the prompt or inside editors. Inside vim, I can still use j/k to navigate up/down so it's the problem with arrow keys specifically.
Steps to reproduce
- You need to be a Window Insiders (Register at https://insider.windows.com/)
- You need to run Windows 10, build 14316 (hit Win + R and run "winver" to check your build number)
- You need to have Bash on Ubuntu on Windows installed. (See https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/04/06/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-14316/ for instructions)
- Run either cmd.exe, or powershell.exe in ConsoleZ, then run "bash" (C:\WINDOWS\system32\bash.exe to be exact). Type a few characters then try to use arrow keys and you will see.
- Alternative to 4, run C:\WINDOWS\system32\bash.exe directly in ConsoleZ, which will yield the same issue.
- Run bash.exe directly from Win + R to confirm arrow keys work outside of ConsoleZ.

Concerning BashOnWindows issue, we can only hope a fix from Microsoft...

I've also run into this issue. It will likely be more common now, since Windows bash was recently released to the public.

Same bug here when add the bash directly in a tab of ConsoleZ.
Thanks for help.

The way "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" is launched change nothing to the issue.
There is a bug in implementation of the virtual terminal input handling in the console host (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/111#issuecomment-232733125
This is always a beta. The issue is tracked by Microsoft development team. Hope the fix come quickly.
Microsoft vscode project seems to encounter the same issue. I think this can have a good impact on issue priority :wink:

The original Console2 2.0 beta148 x64 https://sourceforge.net/projects/console/ dose not have this arrow keys issue, but it is not hi-dpi compatible application.
I hope this will help you.

The original Console2 doesn't use WriteConsoleInput API but simply forward window message (WM_CHAR, ...) to the hidden console window.
Forwarding window message doesn't work with:
- mixing elevated/normal applications
- remote calling
- grouping consoles (dead chars)
cbucher

Too bad because it seems that is a problem from Microsoft/Ubuntu/Bash but I don't think that they will solve the problem because bash don't works with WriteConsoleInput and nobody will change this.
I got you cbucher but the only solution is probably to do like ConEmu and to add a workaround to ConsoleZ

People, if you really want this bug be fixed you should massively ask about progress here: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/111
It seems Visual Studio Code will use winpty as workaround.
Microsoft has not planned to fix this bug because too few people has complained and some applications wrote workaround.
If you want Microsoft developers change their mind, show them you care about this bug!
I don't know if workarounds are 100% functional...
cbucher
on 2 Feb 2017
Can you implement a workaround in the meantime? Please see https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/111#issuecomment-234460063 ... thanks

You can use WSL Bridge. This is the "workaround" used by other term/console wrapper applications.
WSL Bridge releases a Windows executable and a back-end WSL executable. These executables communicate with TCP connection. This tool simply bypasses Microsoft work! (WSL integration with Windows console). Personally, I don't consider this is a good workaround and I cannot understand Microsoft's answer: "we don't know if we will fix this bug because a workaround exists"
You can also use a local SSH session.
Microsoft will fix a feature bug only if people massively insist (for example, by commenting here: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/111).

I came here while looking for anything related to following:
Arrow keys stopped to work for history navigation in PowerShell opened in ConsoleZ - they do scrolling instead.
F8 still works for history. And arrows work in underlying PS window if shown.
Is this the same issue or should I open separate one?
If they made it work in vscode somehow, it might be time to do some changes too.

@KillyMXI It has nothing to do with this issue. You activated scroll lock mode.

That was it. Although I can't make it reproducible with these menu items.
Solved by turning Scroll Lock off from osk.exe - my laptop has no dedicated key.
Now I'm puzzled how it got turned on - I can't find any Fn+ combination for Scroll Lock either.
Thanks and sorry for bothering with not an actual issue.

Good News.
The Microsoft patch will be available in any build insider of Windows 10 with a version higher than 17017 (so it is not in the Fall Creators Update).

Keypress doesn't work in Git Bash for me also. But it works fine with ConEmu64 (https://conemu.github.io/) on Windows 10.

Thank you @cbucher for helping with PEBCAK. I had run into this "issue" a couple of times forgot about the scroll lock key, as it also affects the arrow keys.

For people following this. The Spring Creators update https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 seems to fix this issue.
It's not GA yet but if you can download and install it manually.
