Hello,
I like to mimic the behavior of f9 when I am editing an .m file. So
when I hit f9, I want the line to be sent to matlab and then I want to
go to the next line in the buffer. I believe matlab.el does not
currently have a function that supports this behavior. To get part of
this behavior I created the following lisp function which I would bind to f9
(defun my-matlab-shell-run-region ()
"Runs shell command"
;(implement-debug-on-entry)
(interactive)
(setq mybuf (buffer-name))
(matlab-shell-run-region-or-line)
(switch-to-buffer mybuf)
(next-line)
)
This works great until I step across a region of code that matlab.el
recognizes as a block. If I press f9 once entering this block,
matlab-run-region issues an error about the shell being busy. Then I
have to copy and paste the rest of the block manually. I would rather
have the option that the code be sent to matlab and a warning issued.
Octave-mode already has this feature, without the warning. Below is the
modification I made to matlab-shell-run-region.
