Details:

When setting

    set show-mode-in-prompt on

in my ~/.inputrc and being in editing mode, the Octave command line behaves
strangely when using the arrow up and down keys. On the first press it does
nothing then on the second it changes to the next command in the buffer and
then it switches to the command mode.

A workaround is to use

    $if octave
      set show-mode-in-prompt off
    $else
      set show-mode-in-prompt on
    $endif

in the ~/.inputrc file.
