[Feature Request] Bring back input history pressing up/down arrows.

# foo.py
while True:
	print(input())

In native Python, when I run python foo.py, I could use up and down arrow keys to navigate to my history inputs. While in VSCode Python Debugger, there's no more input history.

In applications need a lot of stdio, this is quite inconvenience. Please bring back this feature. Thank you. 💯

Hi! To clarify are you talking about the debug console? Or the terminal? If you could explain a bit more and even include a screenshot that would be helpful- thanks!

@eleanorjboyd Thank you for your attention.

With command: python.execInTerminal, when I input something to the console, I cannot use up & down arrow keys to toggle the history inputs.

With the above command, no input history is available.

And with the above command, I can view my input history.
