When using conemu with Windows 10 bash shell, why doesn't the UP key show the previous command?

Question

The up arrow scrolls through command history, but it doesn't work after I launch bash shell.

I'm not sure yet who (ConEmu of Windows) is responsible for the problem. But the issue has been created: https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu/issues/629 — Maximus, Apr 07 '16 at 07:38

Solution for now is to use next command:

%windir%\system32\bash.exe -cur_console:p

It can be found here on official site.

Worked for me on Cmder as well.

Also, here is a config for Cmder to lunch bash.exe with config given by Kostiantyn Korniyenko just in case.

Reading through the discussions here. I settled with following value that worked for me

%windir%\system32\bash.exe ~/mnt/ -l -i -cur_console:p1 -new_console:p:n

Set a switch for -cur_console:p[n] where n is the pty mode:

p[N] - pty modes, N - bitmask: 1 - XTermKeys, 2 - BrPaste, 4 - AppCursorKeys; default is 1
