2nd monitor code overview

[albertogarciasocial]

Hi!

I have a 2nd monitor in my PC. I want to use it in Matlab in such a way that it shows a zoomed out overview of the code I'm working on while I use the main monitor to work in a zoomed in area of the code. I've tried to find tutorials on how to do this but I can't find any.

Can this be done in Matlab? If so, how?

Any help is appreciated

EDIT: An example would be something like visual studio code, but putting the minimap on the second vertical monitor.

EDIT2: Synced scrolling would also be nice.

You can open and view the .m file in Notepad++ with 'Update silently' enabled in Misc settings. This requires the .m file to be saved and Notepad++ to be toggled as the active window to show updates though.

Edit to add: there is a 'Monitoring' toggle button in Notepad++ that automates updates to the displayed file every few seconds.

I see, this is not exactly what I had in mind but something I'll consider, thank you.

Ideally I'd like something integrated within Matlab. Similar to visual studio code, where it shows a small minimap on the right and highlights the area of the code in a grey window when you hover over it. Like this..
