[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40156] allow --traditional to set Matlab-compatible default readline keybindings

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #25, bug #40156 (project octave):

There are two independent sets of keybindings going on.

One affects the terminal widget when the keyboard focus is there. This is what
is driven by readline and configured with the inputrc configuration file. The
same set of actions work in Octave command-line mode as in the GUI.

The other set is the set of bindings handled by the Qt GUI itself. These are
bindings for switching tabs, opening files in the editor, controlling the
debugger, etc.

So as we're keeping track of these here, make sure to note the context, and
whether the binding has to do with the terminal (command window), such as
next/previous history, or the rest of the GUI, such as opening a file.

This bug report started out as only changing the readline bindings for the
command window.
