My only other thought is to disable all special tty settings and any Qt shortcut keys that apply to the terminal widget, let readline get all these characters, and define readline functions for them that do whatever is necessary to invoke the appropriate actions: interrupting Octave, performing readline or GUI actions. It looks like that also has a chance of working with the Windows terminal as well.
Except that for CTRL-C as interrupt, this doesn't quite work because if Octave is busy doing something, readline will not be getting the CTRL-C input, so will have no way of triggering the interrupt. So in that case, we either need CTRL-C to generate a signal external to Octave and its GUI, or we need some shortcut (could be local to the terminal widget) that can be used to generate an interrupt signal when Octave is not sitting at the readline prompt.
