MATLAB Extra Support

This Visual Studio code extension provides additional features to the MATLAB extension by MathWorks. Users can run individual sections of code in a MATLAB file directly inside VS Code.

Usage and Features

To run a particular section of code, have your cursor within that section and then run the Run Current Section command through command palette or by pressing ctrl + enter. Note that "sections" in MATLAB files are lines of code separated by %%. For example the following code has two sections.

%%
x = 1;
disp(x);

%%
y = x + 2;
disp(y);

You can also run the current section of code and all code above it by pressing ctrl + shift + enter or using the Run Current Section and all Above command through command palette.

Supports Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Requirements

This extension requires you to have the VS Code extension MATLAB by MathWorks installed.

Known Issues

Currently there is an issue with the workspace variables persisting across different MATLAB terminal sessions. This is because of how the MATLAB extension by MathWorks works. I am working on a solution to reset the workspace each time but I am not yet sure how to since the MATLAB shell does not work like a normal terminal.

Feel free to open an issue if you find any problems, or even a PR if you have any solutions.
