MATLAB: UIFigure Keyboard control update

"I am looking for an approach on how to provide the input control for the uifigure"

Idea 1: add buttons to your App

One approach would be to simply add 4 buttons to your App.

Continue
Back
Auto
Quit

Each button could use the same callback function that changes x (or whatever other variables they should affect) depending on which button was pressed.

Idea 2: use uiconfirm()

uiconfirm(f,message,title,Name,Value) is a dialog box that allows the user to select a button option which is returned as an output. Try this.

app.UIFigure = uifigure();  % This is your app, you don't need this line. 
selection = uiconfirm(app.UIFigure,'Select something','MyApp',...
    'Options',{'Continue','Back','Auto','Quit'}, ...
    'DefaultOption','Continue', ...
    'CancelOption','Quit');

MATLAB: How to disable the ZOOM context menu in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)

To control the behavior of a right-click action when ZOOM is active change the property ‘rightclickaction’ of the zoom mode object.

A value of 'InverseZoom' causes a right-click to zoom out.

h=zoom(gcf);
set(h,'rightclickaction','InverseZoom');
