I checked in the following changeset:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/aa662d2e5829

Ultimately I'd like to remove the global LEXER variable completely but this change is probably good enough for now.

Octave executes the contents of .octaverc at start-up.  I assumed that it treated the contents of .octaverc like any other m-file.  Apparently, however, there are keywords which you cannot use in the initialization file which are, however, valid in m-files.

This is a regression from 3.6.4 where keyboard works correctly.

I tested this with a recent tip (hg id 4c7ee36f591d) and "run-octave --no-gui"
