Update of bug #46383 (project octave):
Severity: 3 - Normal => 2 - Minor
Priority: 5 - Normal => 1 - Later
Status: None => Need Info
Release: 3.8.1 => 4.0.2

Follow-up Comment #1:
I am also not an emacs user, but I can deduce what the difference is between
"comint-previous-input" and "comint-previous-matching-input-from-input".
Personally I prefer the arrow keys to scroll through the history
unconditionally, not matching what I have already typed, but I do recognize
that Octave's default readline configuration is to scroll through previous
matches.
Does anyone who does use emacs care enough to patch the docs to suggest one or
the other set of comint functions? Or maybe both with a description of the
differences?
