I add shortcuts to my MATLAB window programmatically by reading which project directories my current MATLAB instance has access to and then calling a few “awtinvoke”s. This lets me switch between machines at any time, immediately see which project repositories I have available on each, and easily switch between those projects. When I clone a project to another computer – voila! There it is in my shortcuts bar (after MATLAB restarts).

Is there a way for me to programmatically add those shortcuts to the Quick Access bar, so that I can leave that big fat ribbon minimized, like you’ve done above?

And since we’re at it, is there a way to automatically minimize the ribbon using my startup.m?

Thanks!

Chad

it would be nice if I would be able to dock a search window.

In this way it is possible to select an occurrence of the search without having to layout the Simulink window and the search dialog. Maximum screen estate would be preserved.

I know, that I should use embedded matlab function, but my question is how should I declare the inputs in the embedded matlab editor? I’m really lost.

continuous working as until now, greetings from Mexico!!!

1. Yes it is possible. For each shortcut you have the option to display the label or not. I personally prefer to hide the label to get room for more shortcuts, but I am the only one knowing what are my shortcuts.

2. Thank you for your comment, I forwarded it to our development team. It took me some time adapting to the new documentation, but after using it for a few months I am getting used. I found out that opening pages in new tabs is very useful.

It is not possible to read the documentation “old style”.

In your example of several single letters there is not much a hint for determining which is which.
2) The online document seems to be worse. It is very hard to locate info. It’s very hard to cross reference on a topic. The left panel with doc tree is very helpful. Is there a way to read doc old style?
