getenv('CHARSET')
ans=cp936

getenv('INPUTRC')
ans=

(the second is empty)
the charset is a Chinese charset because I choose zh_cn in language settings.But I have tried en_us and the problem is still there.

Also,I remove qt-settings but nothing happen except the welcome window pop up.Actually,I met the problem just after I installed octave, with no settings changed.

Works fine for me

You could try removing qt-settings from %USERPROFILE%\.config\octave\

and see if that helps

Also what do these return:

getenv('CHARSET')
getenv('INPUTRC')

ans = windows

It's the same in both CLI mode and GUI mode when I run getenv term/gnuterm, while in CLI mode these problems don't exist.

In the command window, what does it display if you run the command:

getenv('TERM')

I install octave from the official installer, and just click the shortcut “octave (gui)”in the start menu to run it, on win10 platform.

Did you install from the official installer or the zip file, and how are you running octave ?

When I press arrow keys, backspace and tab in the GUI command mode, just some strange things will happen, such as the last two characters will swap or "[A[B[C[D" will appear(arrow keys). Of course this is not I want.These problems make it so hard to use command mode in GUI. Also, the mouse cannot be used to move the cursor freely. Anyway, edit a simple command is much easier in MATLAB.
