idf.py menuconfig ignore keyboard input in powershell/cmd on windows 10

[focusPokus]

Hello everyone! Have some troubles with menuconfig - it ignores everithing that happened on my keyboard. So i can't navigate and configure my project. It builds, it starts - but thats all. My ESP IDF version 6.0, python venv is 3.12. Menu config tool called from project folder [idf.py menuconfig].

Log that i catch form cmd.exe

Hello, is this something that used to work for you, but after updating to IDF 6.0 it stopped, or is it something that never worked?

How did you install ESP-IDF? Did you follow our installation guide? https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... stallation

I have a couple of recommendations to try:

1. I see from the first screenshot that you are running CMD from the editor (I guess Clion?), I would recommend running it directly.
2. If that does not work, try using the Windows Terminal app - https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n0dx20hk701 - This often helps resolve such issues with colors and interactive mode
3. If you are using VS Code, consider using our extension for ESP-IDF, which does not use the terminal for project configuration.

Have you tried using J and K to navigate?
Seems silly to ask, but it had me going for sometime until I found out that menuconfig doesn't uses arrows anymore
