So use it with the proper amount of caution. @Matthew – Take a look at the EditorMacro utility on the File Exchange: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24615-editormacro-assign-a-macro-to-a-keyboard-key-stroke-in-the-matlab-editor-and-command-window

I'm using R2011a; just got the new version, and am loving it.

Yes from the keyboard shortcuts prefs. File -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts.

Thanks, Ed Hello,

I have gotten use to using the windows keyboard commands in the MATLAB editor, while using the Emacs style keyboard commands at the commmand line. I'm somewhat dismayed that under R2010a you must choose to use the windows style commands in both the command window and the editor, or the Emacs style command in both. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to configure the command window to use Emacs (if I get the print dialog again for typing control-p again I'm going to scream) and set the editor to use the windows style keyboard commands?

Can anyone help? Many thanks Keith T Hi,
