Description
# 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. 💯
