Gnuplot process and gnuplot_qt process communicates each other.
Bind command code is implemented source code for qt terminal
so it should work.

I execute a simple test on gnuplot-5.0.5 on windows and lubuntu 16.04 (built myself).

gnuplot> bind d 'plot x*x'
gnuplot> set term qt
gnuplot> bind d
 d              `plot x*x`
gnuplot> plot x

On qt plot windows, press d key => plot x*x
executed.

Bind command works for me on qt at least in the above simple example.
