I think this is getting better and better.  I still think a switch to 
QScintilla would be great.  I started  while back to make a dockable derivative 
of QScintilla.  Once I have that working, I will send it to you.  It should be 
almost a drop-in replacement, other than hooks for other interactions with the 
UI (e.g. open, close, etc).  I think in the long run QScintilla will make it 
easier to do things like auto-complete, mouse-hover interactions, having 
breakpoints and other debugging symbols in the gutter, etc.

In my last email, I asked about the debugging functionality being removed from 
OctaveLink.  Do you have plans to put that back in?
