Hi everyone,
Uwe recently merged in some updates for matlab-mode into the git master branch.
Thanks Uwe!
I'd like to encourage everyone to give it a try! To get "string" to work, I
had to start over on the indentation & font-lock support in 'char vector' and
%comment as well as basic navigation with C-M-f and C-M-b. A side effect is
(paren), [array] and {cell} matching is much more robust, and we now support
`show-paren-mode' and `blink-paren' modes instead of the old block highlighter.
All these changes means it would be great for folks to try it out and let me
know if anything goes wrong!
And while I have your attention, I'd like to get some feedback about matlab
mode. We'd like to make some updates to the default values of some variables.
While I was in there, I'm thinking of also deleting support for ancient
systems. Here's a short list of things I was thinking could be changed and
cleaned out:
* XEmacs support
* indent function body - always by default (no more question)
* functions have end - switch to t by default
* auto-fill - off by default, or maybe on only in comments
* matlab block highlighting - superseded by show-paren-mode. Anyone w/ an
ancient emacs need this?
* matlab-eei support - MATLAB stopped supporting this in the mid 2000. Anyone
still using this?
* matlab-complete-symbol & M-TAB binding - Anyone using this, or has everyone
migrated to newer completion tools? Which one?
* tempo templates ?
Does anyone have flags on any of the above? Is there a new shiny emacs tool
that should be supported instead of some old thing? Please let me know!
Thanks
Eric
