I much like nedit. You can make it accessible from the commandline
through edit by adding something like this in your ~/.octaverc:

EDITOR = "nedit-nc -noask -srvcmd 'nedit -server -nowrap -tabs 4
-autoindent -autosave' -lm Octave -srvname octave %s &";
edit('HOME','.');
edit('AUTHOR',Hugo');
edit('EMAIL','you at somewhere');
edit('LICENSE','GPL');
