Description
reproduce
add below code to ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/00-keybindings.py
from IPython import get_ipython
from prompt_toolkit.enums import DEFAULT_BUFFER
import prompt_toolkit.key_binding.bindings.named_commands as nc
from prompt_toolkit.filters import HasFocus, ViInsertMode
ip = get_ipython()
if getattr(ip, 'pt_app', None):
registry = ip.pt_app.key_bindings
registry.add_binding('c-j',
filter=(HasFocus(DEFAULT_BUFFER)
& ViInsertMode()))(nc.next_history)
Above setting works on WSL, but not working on Window ipython open in powershell.
But shortcut like previous_history works both on WSL and Windows.

Research direction
Reproduce the binding from ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/00-keybindings.py in IPython running in Windows PowerShell, then compare it with the working WSL behavior. Start from the registry.add_binding call and the nc.next_history command; done means c-j invokes next_history on Windows while previous_history continues to work.
