[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56151] esc should clear command line, edits shouldn't disable history

[eflister]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #56151 (project octave):

@rik5: did you read the part where i wrote "doesn't have to be exactly like
matlab's" or any of the constructive suggestions i offered to make octave-gui
a better experience, not just for the large number of users who arrive with a
matlab background, but also for anyone who isn't familiar with readline or
doesn't think they should have to switch from arrows to ctrl-p/n just because
they edited something?

note that bash works just as i am requesting, so we can dispense with the
strawman that this is about matlab-myopia.

regarding --traditional, the only doc i see is under '--braindead' here:
https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/Command-Line-Options.html#Command-Line-Options
and none of it has anything to do with the present discussion or the gui. 
another strawman.

note that under "is it really a bug?" at
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/bugs.html
it says "If you are an experienced user of programs like Octave, your
suggestions for improvement are welcome in any case."
