its own Editor/Debugger...

Ludzie pragną czasami się rozstawać, żeby móc tęsknić, czekać i cieszyć się z powrotem.

To specify a text editor other than MATLAB’s Editor, such as Emacs or vi, to
be used when you open an M-file from within MATLAB, select Other. In the
Other field, type the path to the editor application you want to use.
For example, specify C:\Applications\Emacs.exe in the Other field, and then
open a file using Open from the File menu the MATLAB desktop. The file
opens in Emacs instead of in the MATLAB Editor/Debugger.
Debugger options
By default, the item Automatically open files when debugging is checked.
The result is that when you run an M-file containing breakpoints, the
MATLAB Editor/Debugger opens when it encounters a breakpoint.
If you use debugging functions, you might want to uncheck the item so that the
Editor/Debugger does not open when a breakpoint is encountered.
Most recently used file list
Use this preference to specify the number of files that appear in the list of most
recently used files in the File menu.

Preferences for the Editor/Debugger
On restart
To start MATLAB and automatically open the files that were open when you
last shut down MATLAB, check the item Reopen files from previous
MATLAB session. If the item is unchecked and you close MATLAB when there
are files open in the Editor/Debugger, the next time you start MATLAB, the
Editor/Debugger is not opened upon startup.
Font & Colors Preferences for the Editor/Debugger
Use Font & Colors preferences to specify the font and colors used in files in the
Editor/Debugger.
Font
Editor/Debugger font preferences specify the characteristics of the font used in
files in the Editor/Debugger. Select Use desktop font if you want the font in
the files to be the same as that specified under General - Font & Colors. If you
want the font for Editor/Debugger files to be different, select Use custom font
and specify the font characteristics:
• Type, for example, Lucida Console
• Style, for example, Plain
• Size in points, for example, 12 points
After you make a selection, the Sample area shows how the font will look.
You can specify different font characteristics for printing files from the Editor
– see “Printing Preferences for the Editor/Debugger” on page 7-42.
Colors
Specify the colors used in files in the Editor/Debugger:
• Text color – The color of nonspecial text; special text uses colors specified for
Syntax highlighting.
• Background color – The color of background in the window.
• Syntax highlighting – The colors to use to highlight syntax. If checked, click
Set Colors to specify them. For a description of syntax highlighting, see
“Syntax Highlighting” on page 3-5.

7 Editing and Debugging M-Files
Display Preferences for the Editor/Debugger
Use Display preferences to specify how the Editor/Debugger window should
look.
Opening files in editor
This preference controls how files are arranged when you open them in the
Editor/Debugger. When you change this preference, it applies to files you open
after making the change. Currently opened files are not rearranged to match
the preference.
Check Single window contains all files (tabbed style) to have a single Editor/
Debugger window for all open files, as shown in the following illustration. Click
the tab for a file to make it the current file.
Files are tabbed
within one
window.
7-38
Preferences for the Editor/Debugger
Check Each file is displayed in its own window to have a separate Editor/
Debugger window for each open file, as shown in the following illustration.
Each file is
in its own
window.
Display
Use display options to specify what is shown and what is hidden in the Editor/
Debugger.
Show toolbar. Check this item to display the toolbar. Uncheck it to hide the
toolbar.
Show line numbers. Check this item to show line numbers. They appear along the
left side of the window. When you uncheck this item, line numbers aren’t
shown.
Enable datatips in edit mode. Check this item to see datatips while in edit mode.
Datatips are always enabled in debug mode.

7 Editing and Debugging M-Files
Prompt
When you type edit filename and filename does not exist, MATLAB displays
a prompt asking if you want to create a new file named filename.m. If you do
not want to see this prompt, uncheck the preference Show dialog prompt
when editing files that do not exist. Then, the next time you type edit
filename, the file will be created without first prompting you.
If you do not generally use the edit command to create new files, then you
might want to check the box to show the prompt. This alerts you to the
possibility that you mistyped the filename you want to open.
Keyboard and Indenting Preferences for the Editor/
Debugger
Use keyboard preferences to specify the key binding conventions MATLAB
should follow. Use indenting preferences to specify how the Editor/Debugger
indents lines.
Key bindings
Select Windows or Emacs depending on which convention you want the
Editor/Debugger to follow for accelerators and shortcuts. The accelerators seen
on the menus change after you change this option.
For example, when you select Windows key bindings, the shortcut to paste a
selection is Ctrl+V. When you select Emacs key bindings, the shortcut to paste
a selection is Ctrl+Y. You can see the accelerator on the Edit menu for the
Paste item.
M-file indenting for Enter key
Select the style of indenting you want the Editor/Debugger to use when you
press the Enter key. Examples follow, illustrating the different styles.
• No indent – No lines are indented. Use this is you want lines to be aligned
on the left or want to insert line indents manually.
• Block indent – Indents a line the same amount as the line above it.
• Smart indent – Automatically indents lines that start with keyword
functions or that follow certain keyword functions. Smart indenting can help
you to follow the code sequence.
