Hi,
The existing matlab completion stuff should work with company .. or at
least there is code in there referencing company completion engine. I
was never a fan so I don't use that particular package.
In the MATLAB menu, you will find a "Locate MATLAB function" option
which is similar to jump-to functionality like etags.
Newer emacsen now how 'xref' as a bit of infrastructure and keybinding
but matlab mode doesn't plug into it yet. In theory matlab mode could
hook matlab-shell-locate-fcn into xref but I haven't researched how to
do that yet.

Hi Eric,
Thanks so much for taking the time to test it!
It's not unique to that sturct.
Is there anything that I need/can configure on terms of the completion
engine? I'm using company for most other things, maybe there's some
conflict, or some missing configuration?
Thank you for the patch! I'll try it out, and I'll using Matlab mode
from the git source as well.
Do you have a pointers for setting up jump-to-function functionally?
Thanks again for all the help and information, it's really appreciated.

Hi Jonathan,
I happened to have MATLAB 18a installed and was able to test using
matlab.el, and matlab-shell.el from git, but could not replicate a
completion problem. Sorry. Is it special to the "EEG" data
structure,
or does this occur everywhere?
You had some other questions too.
Matlab mode does support CEDET, but you do not need to use CEDET in
order to use matlab mode. MATLAB mode without support packages
supports
a bunch of different completion features, but most are pretty
simple.
If you enable CEDET with the data base and have matlab-shell
running, it
will try to use the shell to find files on your path, but it
doesn't use
the shell for completions. That code is pretty old and I don't think
those bits were every plugged together.
I did a little hacking and put together the attached patch that
enables
completion via MATLAB shell in MATLAB buffers. It is rather
primitive
as it only does global symbols and knows nothing about the local
context, but perhaps it can serve as inspiration for putting
something
more complete together.
Lastly, in a MATLAB buffer, you can type:
M-x matlab-shell-describe-command RET
on a symbol and it should do vaguely what you were asking for below.
