Is There an Editor for Octave with a "Run" Button?

In Matlab, there is a built-in code editor with a "Run" button (with shortcut key F5) to run scripts. I'm looking for similar functionality in Octave; so far, I've only been able to run scripts by switching from the code editor (I use gedit) to the command line window and entering the name of the script.

Does such a code editor exist for Octave?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:octave/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If you open octave now it should look like this:
