MATLAB: Why does F9 key not evaluate in R2017b

function keysMATLAB

In previous versions, after highlighting some text in the editor window, hitting F9 would evaluate the expression and print the answer in the command window. Not so in R2017B, it only repeats the text, with no attempt at evaluation.

Best Answer

You can check what F9 is bound to for a shortcut in the preferences of MATLAB. It is possible that the shortcut is not set to the default or that there is another shortcut that is conflicting with the default.
