I will forward your issue on to the development team for the file explorer. What you’re asking for in the second paragraph is a support for user functions in Function Hints. It’s something we’re actively working on, but not part of the product yet.

Also, I run into a problem on my mac where if I copy a file(cmd+c) while in the matlab file explorer, change directories, and paste it (cmd+v) still in the matlab file explorer, then when I use that file the permissions are all messed up, it is like matlab is operating as another use with non-administrator permissions. I particularly find this to be a problem when I move executable files. I have not noticed an issue with other file types. I guess a second feature creep while I am posting; A feature that I really like in matlab is the auto suggest textbox that comes up for functions, idk what it is really called, but for example if I type in "str2num(" then a box comes up showing "str2num('str')" I would really love a way to enable this for my functions as well. Currently they all just come up with a box showing "myfcn(...)" Is there a way to add this functionality to my .m files? -I realize most of this is not in the correct thread but I read others posts and it made me think of it. Also, I have started using these shortcuts and wow its a great time saver! Great feature! I agree with Stead, being able to use SVN from the matlab file explorer would be great!

Can I have a key or a combination of keys assigned to user defined shortcuts?

You may also be interested in the new R2009b plot picker, which we will feature in a future post. Harald,

Is any functionality like that planned for the future? A related feature that would be interesting for me would be some way to customize the context menu items when right-clicking on a variable in the workspace editor.

Sometimes, however, I have to use a public computer at school. These are "deep-frozen" and are set to a default setting at every log on. I'd like to use my shortcuts on these computers. I figure that I could write a script - for execution when I start my day at school - which creates shortcuts to my code on my external HD. If I'm clever, I'll figure out a way to MATLAB execute this in a startup.m script, but more likely I'll just have to locate the script and run it in MATLAB. Anyway, my problem is: I can't figure out how to create these shortcuts via a script. Is there any way to do this via the command window? Thanks in advance for your help and advice, - Chad Hi guys, I like the shortcuts and use them regularly. Sometimes, however, I have to use a public computer at school.
