That's not that easy

(Please correct me someone if I get the terminology wrong.)

The standard console window on Windows is cmd.exe while it's a term(inal) on Linux.

They have very different terminal emulations that includes escape sequences to navigate and write the console.

Term::ReadLine::Gnu and Term::ReadKey are XS module for such *nix consoles.

Now Git-Bash seems to be such a terminal, but comes with it's own bundled Perl and installing new modules there doesn't seem to be a good idea and fails anyway.

Though it might be possible to run a different Perl installation there using Term::ReadLine::Perl (a non XS backend)

But the cleanest solution would be a Term::ReadLine backend which translates to CMD consoles.

most of it actually works, it's only the key-binding which is not triggering.
