Open Matlab editor while running from command line

8 views (last 30 days)
I typically run Matlab on Mac (catalina) in the terminal, by calling matlab -nodesktop. In previous versions/installations of Matlab, I could open an .m file and it would open the Matlab editor, but run/debug through terminal. At some point when upgrading, this stopped working. Now if I am running Matlab in command line and open a .m file, a whole new Matlab application opens up witht he full GUI interface. How do I stop this behavior/only open .m files in an editor when Matlab is already running?

We stopped shipping the standalone editor quite some time ago, long enough that I can't find it in the Release Notes. It's probably been at least a decade.
Edited to add: I checked an older installation's documentation. The standalone editor was removed in release R2008a.

What software do you use if you need to make a screenshot of the screen? I use HyperCam (official version https://www.solveigmm.com/en/products/hypercam/ ) - intuitive interface and always great results.
