Follow-up Comment #7:

It works for me if I read my ~/.inputrc after starting Octave. Octave installs
its own inputrc file that is read on startup, which disables the Ctrl-V
readline binding. That's a separate issue.

Ctrl-V does now pass through to the terminal when the clipboard is empty with
this patch, but there's some interaction with window focus as well or
something else I'm not understanding. For example, starting with an empty
clipboard:


octave:1> readline_read_init_file ("~/.inputrc");
octave:2> ^V^V ## typed Ctrl-V four times
## now select a word and copy with Ctrl-C
octave:2> ^V^V ## Ctrl-V is still self-inserting here
## now switch focus out of Octave and back to Octave
octave:2> learn ## Ctrl-V pastes the word now
