Of course there are some remaining things:

- Octave starts off with a "-K>>" prompt (JD I think you mentioned this) and no blinking cursor (bug #39259)

 

Do you start octave from the MSYS shell?

If you do, try to unset TERM variable, like: TERM= octave.exe

Unsetting term works for me

The problem is that octave inherits TERM from the shell, I think it's set to something like cygwin or rxvt (I don't remember). And readline then starts sending control sequences that are not understood by the windows terminal.
