If the edit function of Octave isn't what you want, then you
could use job control instead.  Use Control-Z to temporarily
suspend back to the shell where you can use your favorite editor.
For me that is Vi.

octave:1> ^Z
[1]+  Stopped                 octave
$ vi test.m
... editing ... ^Z
[2]+  Stopped                 vim test1.m
$ fg %1

Suspend and use 'fg %1' or 'fg %2' as appropriate to bring up the
job you want.  If you forget what is what, you can ask the shell:

$ jobs
[1]-  Stopped                 octave
[2]+  Stopped                 vim test1.m
