When the outline nears aposition where you can dock (keep) it, the outline snaps to that location. The2-10Configuring the Desktopstatus bar displays instructions about moving the window while you dragthe outline.In the following example, the Command History window is originally to theleft of the Command Window and is being dragged above the CommandWindow.
When the top of Command History window touches the bottom ofthe toolbar, the outline appears.Drag the title bar of the CommandHistory window to move itRelease the mouse when the outline of the CommandHistory window appears where you want it to beThe status bar displays instructions about moving the window.2-112Using the Desktop2 Release the mouse to dock the window at the new location.Other windows in the desktop resize to accommodate the new configuration.The following example shows how the desktop looks after having moved theCommand History window above the Command Window.Moving Windows Out of the MATLAB DesktopTo move a window outside of the MATLAB desktop, do one of the following:• Click the arrowthe desktop.in the title bar of the window you want to move outside of• Select Undock for that tool from the View menu; the window must be thecurrently active window.• Drag the title bar of the window outside of the desktop.
As you drag, anoutline of the window appears. When the cursor is outside of the MATLABdesktop, release the mouse.2-12Configuring the DesktopThe window appears outside of the MATLAB desktop. In the followingexample, the Command History window has been moved outside of thedesktop.Moving Windows Into the MATLAB DesktopTo move a window that is outside of the MATLAB desktop into the desktop,select Dock for that tool from the window’s View menu.Grouping (Tabbing) Windows TogetherYou can group windows so that they occupy the same space in the MATLABdesktop, with access to the individual windows via tabs. These are the mainfeatures in working with tabbed windows:• “Grouping Windows” on page 2-14• “Viewing Tabbed Windows” on page 2-15• “Moving Tabbed Windows” on page 2-15• “Closing Tabbed Windows” on page 2-152-132Using the DesktopGrouping Windows.
To group (also called “to tab”) windows together:1 Drag the title bar of one window in the desktop on top of the title bar ofanother window in the desktop.The outline of the window you’re dragging overlays the target window, andthe bottom of the outline includes a tab. In the following example, theCommand History window is originally to the left of the Command Windowand its title bar is being dragged on top of the title bar of the CommandWindow.Outline of window, including tab2 Release the mouse.Both windows occupy the same space and labeled tabs appear at the bottomof that space.
In the following example, the Command History andCommand Window are tabbed together, with the Command History tabcurrently selected.2-14Configuring the DesktopUse arrows to show any tabs thataren’t in view. In this example, thearrows are grayed, indicating alltabs are in view.There are labeled tabs for each tooltabbed together in the window.Click a tab to view that tool.Viewing Tabbed Windows. To view a tabbed window, click the window’s tab. Thewindow moves to the foreground and becomes the currently active window.
Ifthere are more tabs in a window than are currently visible, use the arrows tothe left of the tabs to see additional tabs.Moving Tabbed Windows. To move a tabbed window to another location, drag thetitle bar or the tab to the new location. You can move it inside or outside of theMATLAB desktop.Closing Tabbed Windows. When you click the close boxfor a window that ispart of a group of windows tabbed together, that window closes.
You cannotclose all of the tabbed windows at one time; instead close each windowindividually.2-152Using the DesktopUsing Predefined Desktop ConfigurationsThere are six predefined MATLAB desktop configurations, which you canselect from the View -> Desktop Layout menu:• Default – Contains the Command Window, the Command History andCurrent Directory browser tabbed together, and the Launch Pad andWorkspace browser tabbed together.• Command Window Only – Contains only the Command Window.
Thismakes MATLAB appear similar to how it looked in previous versions.• Simple – Contains the Command History and Command Window,side-by-side.• Short History – Contains the Current Directory browser and Workspacebrowser tabbed together above the Command Window and a small CommandHistory.• Tall History – Contains the Command History along the left, and theCurrent Directory browser and Workspace browser tabbed together abovethe Command Window.• Five Panel – Contains the Launch Pad above the Command History alongthe left, the Workspace browser above the Current Directory browser in thecenter, and the Command Window on the right.After selecting a predefined configuration, you can move, resize, and open andclose windows.2-16Common Desktop FeaturesCommon Desktop FeaturesThese common features are available for the desktop tools:• “Desktop Toolbar” on page 2-17• “Context Menus” on page 2-17• “Keyboard Shortcuts and Accelerators” on page 2-18• “Selecting Multiple Items” on page 2-19• “Using the Clipboard” on page 2-20• “Accessing The MathWorks on the Web” on page 2-20Desktop ToolbarThe toolbar in the MATLAB desktop provides easy access to popularoperations.
Hold the cursor over a button and a tooltip appears describing theitem. Note that some of the tools also have a toolbar within their window.Create new M-fileOpen fileCutUndo last editCopyPasteRedolastundoCreate new Simulink modelView or change current directoryGo to Help browserSelect previously usedcurrent directoryBrowse tochangecurrentdirectoryTooltip describes buttonTurn tooltips on or off using General PreferencesCurrent Directory FieldThe Current Directory field in the toolbar shows MATLAB’s current workingdirectory.
You can change the current directory using this field and performother file operations using the Current Directory browser – for instructions, see“File Operations” on page 5-20.Context MenusMany of the features of the MATLAB desktop tools are available from contextmenus, also known as pop-up menus. To access a context menu, right-click on2-172Using the Desktopa selection and the context menu for it appears, presenting the availableactions.
For example, following is the context menu for a selection in theCommand History window.Access context (pop-up) menus byright-clicking on a selection.Keyboard Shortcuts and AcceleratorsYou can access many of the menu items using keyboard shortcuts oraccelerators for your platform, such as using Ctrl+X to perform a Cut onWindows platforms, or Alt+F to open the File menu. Many of the shortcuts andaccelerators are listed with the menu item. For example, on Windowsplatforms, the Edit menu shows Cut Ctrl+X, and the File menu shows the Fin File underlined, which indicates that Alt+X opens it.
Many standardshortcuts for your platform will work but are not listed with the menu items.Following are some additional shortcuts that are not listed on menu items.KeysResultEnterThe equivalent of double-clicking, it performs thedefault action for a selection. For example, pressingEnter while a line in the Command History windowis selected runs that line in the Command Window.EscapeCancels the current action.Ctrl+TabMoves to the next tab in the desktop, where the tab isfor a tool, or for a file in the Editor/Debugger.
Whenused in the Editor/Debugger in tabbed mode outsideof the desktop, moves to the next open file.orCtrl+F62-18Common Desktop FeaturesKeysResult (Continued)Ctrl+Shift+TabMoves to the previous tab in the desktop, where thetab is for a tool, or for a file in the Editor/Debugger.When used in the Editor/Debugger in tabbed modeoutside of the desktop, moves to the previous openfile.Ctrl+Page UpMoves to the next tab within a group of tools or filestabbed together.Ctrl+Page DownMoves to the previous tab within a window.Alt+F4Closes desktop or window outside of desktop.Alt+SpaceDisplays the system menu.On the Alpha platform, even though shortcuts are not listed on the menu items,most standard Alpha shortcuts will work.Selecting Multiple ItemsIn many of the desktop tools, you can select multiple items and then select anaction to perform on all of the selected items.
Select multiple items using thestandard practices for your platform.For example, if your platform is Windows, do the following to select multipleitems:1 Click on the first item you want to select.2 Hold the Ctrl key and then click on the next item you want to select. Repeatthis step until you’ve selected all the items you want.If you hold the Shift key instead of the Ctrl key while clicking on an item,you’ll select all the items between and including that item and the last itemyou clicked on.Now you can perform an action, such as delete, on the selected items.2-192Using the DesktopUsing the ClipboardYou can cut and copy a selection from a desktop tool to the clipboard and thenpaste it from the clipboard into another desktop tool. Use the Edit menu,context menus, or standard keyboard shortcuts.
For example, you can copy aselection of commands from the Command History window and paste them intothe desktop.The Paste Special item in the Edit menu opens the selection on the clipboardin the Import Wizard. You can use this to copy data from another application,such as Excel, into MATLAB. For details, see Chapter 6, “Importing andExporting Data.”To undo the most recent cut, copy, or paste command, select Undo from theEdit menu. Use Redo to reverse the Undo.You can also copy by dragging a selection. For example, make a selection in theCommand History window and drag it to the Command Window, which pastesit there. Edit the lines in the Command Window, if needed and then press theEnter key to run the lines from the Command Window.Accessing The MathWorks on the WebYou can access popular MathWorks Web pages from the MATLAB desktop.Select one of the following items from the Web menu – the Web page opens inyour default Web browser:• The MathWorks Web Site – Links you to the home page of the MathWorksWeb site (http://www.mathworks.com).• Technical Support Knowledge Base – Links you to the MathWorksSupport page (http://www.mathworks.com/support), where you can look forsolutions for problems you are having or report new problems.• Products – Links you to the MathWorks Products page (http://www.mathworks.com/products/), where you can get information about thefull family of products.• Membership – Links you to the MATLAB Access page (http://www.mathworks.com/mla/index.shtml) for Access members.
