view gui/src/octave-adapter/octave-link.h @ 14718:3df7ef0080c7 gui

Added event based processing and implement exit and change directory event. * octave-event-observer.h: Implements observer part for the observer pattern. * main-window.cc: Posting events instead of emulating keypresses. * octave-event.h: Added new event types. * octave-link: Subclassed octave_event_observer and implemented events. * src.pro: Added file for tracking.
