[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45654] Ctrl-C quits all editor windows

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #45654 (project octave):

Calling setpgid or setsid is probably the right way to prevent the editor from
being sent the SIGINT, but I really don't like the idea of changing Octave's
system() function to always do a setpgid or setsid based on a string match
just to fix this scenario with the editor.

Maybe a better solution would be to make the setpgid or setsid functions
callable from the interpreter, or to make a special purpose function for
executing the editor so that it will be in its own process group and not
inherit terminal control sequences.
