I'm able to copy and paste using SHIFT-CMD-C&  shift+cmd+v (Normal OSX keys are CMD-C&

I think those keybindings are coming from the shortcuts assigned to
entries in the Edit menu that is part of the main window menu bar.

When I attempt "ls" in a directly with enough files to trigger the pager and its "-- 
less -- (f)orward, (b)ack, (q)uit", the command line becomes unresponsive.

So the ioctl doesn't really detach the terminal.  I'd guess that less
is still trying to read from /dev/tty, or if not, that whatever it is
trying to read from is not properly attached to the terminal widget.

CTRL-C doesn't work for me either.  I'm also unable to use the arrow keys to 
browse through the command history.

I assume that means readline is'nt functioning.

Do any other readline keybindings work?  CTRL-A?

The CMD-O works (which is normal mapping on OS X, i.e. not "SHIFT-CMD-O")

That is probably coming from the keyboard shortcut that is attached to
the open menu item in the File menu that is part of the main window
menu bar.

Qsci/qscilexeroctave.h: No such file or directory

I can look at disabling this feature if Qsci/qscilexeroctave is not
present.  But I'm not really interested in duplicating this
functionality in Octave in the even that it is not present in
QScintilla.
