Yes, it's a good feature when working with scripts.
The key binding is an issue I see too, though when using VNC. Sometimes the
super key isn't passed through. It's also common for the windows super key to
not work on Windows, see
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-key-not-working/0c796f79-0aa8-466e-ab44-802005d1791b
which gives 8 methods for fixing that. I've hit this in the past.
What about:
(define-key map (kbd "C-c C-<down>") #'matlab-sections-forward-section)
(define-key map (kbd "C-C C-<up>") #'matlab-sections-backward-section)
(define-key map (kbd "C-C C-<left>") #'matlab-sections-beginning-of-section)
(define-key map (kbd "C-C C-<right>") #'matlab-sections-end-of-section)
(define-key map (kbd "C-c M-<up>") #'matlab-sections-move-section-up)
(define-key map (kbd "C-c M-<down>") #'matlab-sections-move-section-down)
(define-key map (kbd "C-c M-<return>") #'matlab-sections-run-till-point)
(define-key map (kbd "C-c C-SPC") #'matlab-sections-mark-section)
Eric - another issue is that there are many files, including files shipped with
MATLAB such as matlab/toolbox/matlab/uitools/uitools/msgbox.m which have %%
characters that aren't sections and we get odd bolding as shown below. We also
see odd bolding when %% are used and there are functions in the script. Nidish
and I have been discussing this in
https://github.com/mathworks/Emacs-MATLAB-Mode/issues/14. Maybe you have some
thoughts on how to improve this? If we had better semantic understanding in
matlab-sections.el, perhaps we could better understand where the sections are?
function varargout=msgbox(varargin)
%MSGBOX Message box.
% msgbox(Message) creates a message box that automatically wraps
% Message to fit an appropriately sized Figure. Message is a string
% vector, string matrix or cell array.

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] matlab-sections.el
Hi all,
I missed the discussions about the new matlab-sections.el that was added to
matlab-mode recently. I like the idea, thanks Nidish for working on it.
I spent a little time trying it out and wanted to share a few thoughts:
* matlab-sections-break-face no longer inherits from font-lock-comment-face.
Why is that? My %% comments really stand out now that they aren't comment
colored. I could customize, but it seems like comments should color as
comments.
* Not everyone has a functional super-key. I'm using Windows/cygwin and the
windows key does Windows stuff. :( Emacs guidelines says that C-<punctuation>
is reserved as a prefix for minor modes. While inconvenient to type, using C-%
as a prefix for matlab-sections (that start with %) as a backup prefix could be
handy.
Thanks
Eric
