 forgot to say that octave belongs to 2025Q3.

 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.
