I find gedit to be pretty good. I have extended the lang file for
octave last year. It uses # for comment but if you need to use % it
can be easily changed (see the octave wiki to see how
http://octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gedit ). To indent blocks just
select all the lines you want and press tab (shift+tab to unindent).
