Dear experts! Why the MATLAB editor opens *.m files in separate Windows. What to change in MATLAB settings so that files are opened in different tabs of the editor window? Pavel Osipov.

As far as I know, there is no setting that allows this view option to be explicitly specified.
However, MATLAB remembers your "last-used" preference, so in order to set the editor to always dock files in the tabbed format to which you refer, simply do the following:
1. Click the "dock" arrow in the upper hand corner of a single file. This will cause the file to be docked in the main MATLAB window.
2. Click the uppermost "undock" arrow in the editor tab (which is now in the main MATLAB window) to move the editor to its own window.
3. Open any other file. It will now be docked in the (now separate) editor window in the tabbed format you're wanting.
If you close the editor after doing this, your preference will be remembered the next time you open the editor.

There are 2 ways to close all open scripts in the Editor window:
1. Close all scripts in the Editor window programmatically:
If this is the case, you can use the following command to get the handle of all open scripts in Editor and then close them:
>> closeNoPrompt(matlab.desktop.editor.getAll);The command is using the MATLAB Editor API. You can learn more about the API by typing the following into your command window:
>> doc matlab.desktop.editor2. Close all scripts open in the Editor window via mouse:
This can be done by clicking the cross button on the top right of the Editor window.
