Editor/Debugger

The Editor/Debugger has the following enhancements:

•You can set bookmarks in M-files in the Editor/Debugger so that you can go

directly to a particular line in the file. To set a bookmark, position the cursor

at the line you want to bookmark, and then select

Set/Clear Bookmark from

the

Edit menu.

After setting bookmarks, you can go to the next or previous bookmark in a

file. This allows you to go directly to a marked spot. Use the

Edit menu items

Next Bookmark and Previous Bookmark to navigate. Bookmarks are not

saved when you close a file.

•You can include line numbers when printing files from the Editor/Debugger.

To include line numbers, select

Preferences -> Editor/Debugger ->

Printing

. Under Print options, check Print line numbers.

•You can use keyboard shortcuts to comment or uncomment a selection in the

Editor/Debugger. The shortcuts are platform dependent and are listed with

the menu items on the Editor/Debugger

Text menu.

•In the

Find/Replace dialog box, settings for Match case, Whole word, and

Wrap around are remembered for the next MATLAB session.

•You can find the previous occurrence of a selection in the Editor/Debugger by

pressing

Ctrl+Shift+F3. You can also find the previous occurrence of a string

you entered into the

Find & Replace dialog box by pressing Shift+F3.

•When you move an arrow key over a token, for example, an opening

parenthesis, (, the token and its match are briefly underlined. If there is no

matching token, the token appears with a strike-through mark, .

•When you run a file from the Editor/Debugger and the file is not in a

directory on the search path or in the current directory, a dialog box appears

presenting you with options that allow you to run the file. You can either

change the current directory to the directory containing the file, or you can

add to the search path the directory containing the file.

If the file you want to run is already in a directory on the search path or in

the current directory, the current directory remains as is and there are no

actions you need to take.
