Concerning the conflict between the terminal's readline function and the
shortcuts I have created a patch for testing at

https://bitbucket.org/ttl/octave-ttl/commits/a30b2ccab8f5f2c0c7bd24a784eb16292b8a4b35

The focusIn- and focusOutEvent functions are used to emit a signal for
setting and resetting the global shortcuts of the main window. For
testing this the Ctrl-O and Ctrl-N shortcuts for opening an existing or
new file are added to the main window's menu. Ctrl-O creates a new line
in the terminal if focused and opens a file dialog otherwise.
