Sorry I didn't find it - I didn't scroll back far enough I suppose. (I
assumed this would have been fixed a long time ago)
IIRC there was a thread some months ago about Ctrl-C not working properly.

...*and* is executing some commands.

When Octave is idle I would like Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V and Ctrl-X to work as a
simple Copy/Paste/Cut in/from the terminal window.
I try to avoid using the mouse for things I can do easier and faster with
