[FIXED] Spyder not accepting keyboard interaction

Issue

When trying to uninstall a pip package in Spyder 3.3.6 using pip uninstall tensorflowjs I get a prompt saying: Proceed (y/n)? but no leyboard interaction is accepted. I also got this when trying to install another package using conda create -n tfjs python=3.6.8 getting a similar prompt: Proceed ([y]/n)?but nothing accepted other than aborting using ^C.

Otherwise keyboard interaction works in Spyder so I really don't get what I'm supposed to do to make pip and conda accept my keyboard inputs in the Spyder console. I found nothing in the Spyder precerences that seems to be related.

Solution

Try to pre-answer "yes" on all questions:

pip uninstall -y tensorflowjs
