For example,
!vim
in iPython opens vim. Is there such a thing in Octave?

The following might work
system("vim");If you want the interactivity of calling something inside of Octave and interactivity with it directly try
exec("vim")instead.See Controlling Subprocesses for more examples.
Otherwise you can either combine calls to
system,forkandexecor extend octave with Python/iPython or C++.
