After this cset the returned values are now the same as Matlab (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/0b83a442ff78).  Fixed and closing report.

One difference (probably irrelevant here) is that in MATLAB, if you keep a key pressed, it will trigger the callback over and over for all keys (including Shift, Alt and Ctrl) while in Octave it will do so for alphanumeric keys but will only call the callback once with Shift/Alt/Ctrl.

Shift and Ctrl keys do trigger the keypressfcn callback in MATLAB.

I have a fix for this, but am waiting for a response from a question I asked on the Maintainer's list about how Matlab handles modifier keys.

I just tested on Linux -> same issue -> OS set to Any

fltk / qt makes no difference. Works fine on gnuplot, save Alt-<key>.

Matlab (I just checked on r2014a):
Plain "i" returns 105
Shift-i returns 73
Ctrl-i returns 9
Alt-i returns 105

Octave/gnuplot gives the same as Matlab except Alt-modifier => gnuplot doesn't react to that.

In 3.8.2 this used to work on fltk (hence the "regression"), be it that ginput() there couldn't differentiate e.g., shifted keys: Shift-i still returned 105 for button value, rather than 73
On 3.8.2 ginput() didn't work yet with Qt.
