MATLAB: How to insert tab spaces in the Editor/Debugger using the key when autocompletion is enabled in MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a)

Question

I am used to inserting tab spaces in my program using the <Tab> key. Since the introduction of Tab completion in the MATLAB Editor/Debugger, I cannot do this without disabling the Tab completion feature.

I would like the ability to insert tab spaces using the <Tab> key, while at the same time have the ability to use the <Tab> key to enable Tab completion in the MATLAB Editor/Debugger.

Answer 1

The ability to enable Tab completion and insert Tab spaces using the 'Tab' key are not available in MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a).

To work around this limitation, insert a space after the word, and then use the 'Tab' key to insert Tab spaces. You can still press the 'Tab' key for Tab completion.
