Sorry, this was a rather technical request 😇
You can check for qscintilla (some library used to give GNU Octave an
builtin editor) support by typing into your command window:
>> __octave_config_info__ ("QSCINTILLA")
ans = 1
If "ans = 0" appears, then your Octave was built without the editor, and
there is nothing you can do to make the editor appear magically.
On a macOS system I tested the latest Octave 5.2.0 from Homebrew and I
obtained "ans = 0". Thus I am afraid you cannot make use of the builtin
Octave editor now.
The issue is reported
