MATLAB: Comment folding in ML Editor

Question

Finally got a 64-bit machine/OS so updated to R2016b. Now the code editor wants to wrap comments past the RH margin…I thought I turned all the folding options I could find off but can't seem to kill this — where's the control live???

And, they still can't implement Shift_Tab to left shift by tab stop???

Nor column selection?

I had hoped it might catch up… 🙁

Answer 1

Preferences -> Editor -> Language "Wrap comment automatically while typing"

"And, they still can't implement Shift_Tab to left shift by tab stop???"

Although you can adjust Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Decrease Indent to add additional keys, the interface seems to act on Tab characters. However, you can use + to add a shortcut there, and press shift control I . That will properly register the set of characters so that shift-tab will exdent.

"Nor column selection?"

Not in any released version.
