Follow-up Comment #4, bug #48306 (project octave):
Aside from the command window, our usage of Qt should be very
platform-agnostic.
The Octave command window is currently implemented as a operating system
"terminal" or "console" interface, instead of a "text area" for example.
The POSIX terminal interface is a somewhat archaic but general purpose
mechanism, and most operating systems support it, except for Windows. So the
command window implementation for Windows uses Windows-specific calls to open
a "console" and manipulate it, while the "Unix" command window implementation
allocates a terminal.
A future version of the GUI may change to use a Qt text area for the command
window, handle all keyboard interaction through Qt, manage command history
recall and editing using Qt, etc. This would make the GUI completely
platform-agnostic.
