MATLAB: Am I unable to switch between files which are open in the MATLAB 7.0 (R14) Editor/Debugger, using the Ctrl+Tab keyboard shortcut

ctrldebuggereditorkeyboardm-fileMATLABshortcutshortcutsswitchtabwindow

In the MATLAB 7.0 (R14) Editor/Debugger, the Ctrl+Tab key does not switch between files which are open in the Editor as it did in previous versions of MATLAB.
When the Editor/Debugger is dockedin the desktop, Ctrl+Tab switches between the individual tools, but not between the files in the Editor. When the Editor/Debugger is in a separate window from the rest of MATLAB, Ctrl+Tab no longer swtiches between the files within it.

Best Answer

This was an intended change in the MATLAB 7.0 (R14) keyboard functionality. Henceforth, you can use the Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn to cycle among documents instead of Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab.
In MATLAB 7.0 (R14), common keyboard shortcuts are as follows:
1. Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab cycle forward and backward through the tools open in the MATLAB desktop.
2. Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PageDn cycle through tabbed components or documents in a container such as the Editor.
3. On Windows, Ctrl+F6 and Ctrl+Shift+F6 cycle through all open components.
4. Ctrl+0 and Ctrl+Shift+0, enable you to switch between the Command Window and the most recently accessed file in the Editor, whether or not they are docked in the MATLAB desktop or not.
