I can't remember the proper thread (e.g.
https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2011-April/023553.html),
but wasn't Michael Goffioul working on tweaking the console2 into Qt ? It came
up when discussing to integrate the QtermWidget (John Swenson) into Quint.
Console2 as I understand would mimic a ptys behaviour
(http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/OT-Console-pty-on-Windows-td1167347.html) ^
kind regards
