Modification to matlab-cellbreak-face
Current cvs code for matlab.el does not handle cellbreak-face correctly. It cannot distinguish between %% and %%%%, but matlab-shell-run-cell can function well. But fontifying not well is still annoying, so we need to modify it. In matlab.el, find the following lines to modify from:
;; Cell mode breaks get special treatment
'("^\\s-*\\(%%[^\n]*\n\\)" (1 matlab-cellbreak-face append))
Change it to:
;; Cell mode breaks get special treatment
'("^\\s-*\\(%%[^%\n]*\n\\)" (1 matlab-cellbreak-face append))
Evaluate cell and advance (C-S-return)
In MATLAB editor, we can press C-S-return to perform "evaluate cell and advance" function. Minor modification to matlab.el can make it happen. You can just add the following code snippet to your .emacs file.
(require 'matlab-load)
(defun matlab-goto-next-cell ()
(interactive)
(re-search-forward "^%%[^%\n]"))
(require 'matlab)
(define-key matlab-mode-map [(meta control F)] 'matlab-goto-next-cell)
(defun matlab-run-cell-and-go ()
(interactive)
(progn
(save-excursion
(matlab-shell-run-cell))
(matlab-goto-next-cell)))
(define-key matlab-mode-map [(meta shift return)] 'matlab-run-cell-and-go)
The example for running matlab cell mode is like this:
a = [1,2,3];
c = [4,5,6];
%% This is first cell
d = a * c';
%%%% This is not a cell
b = [3,2,1];
%% Another cell
c = a + b;
kkk
After pressing three <C-S-return>, the matlab-shell screen will look like:
< M A T L A B (R) >

Okay, now matlab-emacs for me is more convenient right now. Hope you enjoy it!
