Hi
I'm not familiar with the process to get matlab updated in the Linux
distributions. Once that is figured out, we'd like to get the magic-mode-alist
active by default, so no user setup is required when using emacs on a fresh
Linux install. I was hoping you were aware of how this process works.
Thanks
John

Ah right I vaguely remember this, but forgot all about it.

I am not sure I understand, (I am on Ubuntu, which for most cases
follows Debian). Do you want me to contact precisely whom?
The person responsible for the emacs deb pkg?
Or the package emacs-goodies-el?
Frankely with respect to (X)Emacs debian was a mess and I am not sure
that it has improved very much, they tend to have a deb package for a
lot of emacs lisp package but almost all of them were hopelessly
outdated. That is why I think the (X)emacs package is such a great
achievement. Because it is relatively recent, which reminds me once I
push, I should take of the MELPA package too.
So you please tell me what you have in mind.

Well not for me. That it is interesting.
,----
| TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command indent-for-tab-command
| (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function
| in ‘indent.el’.
`----
I have local matlab binding but not for tab, instead I have
(local-set-key [(super tab)] 'indent-for-tab-command))
I would like to investigate that a bit further
for me
,----
| C-M-i runs the command matlab-complete-symbol (found in
| matlab-mode-map), which is an interactive Lisp function in
| ‘matlab-complete.el’.
|
`----
But that function is a bit of an disappointment, yes f-->for
but for example
ode4 does not give you ode45
While in the matlab-shell tab works reasonably well.
I'd like to understand that mechanism a bit better.

Ok.
