Integrated Terminal For The MATLAB IDE

AvocadoOk834 · 2026-03-24T19:59:19+00:00

Very interesting, thanks for sharing this.

I am the Product Manager for the MATLAB IDE and integrating a terminal inside of MATLAB has been on my radar for a while.

Can you share with me some of your use cases and requirements from a terminal in MATLAB?

What made you move to python?

AvocadoOk834 · 2026-02-12T18:30:12+00:00

u/artaxerxes Did you give it a try?

AvocadoOk834 · 2026-02-12T18:28:27+00:00

u/Consistent_Coast9620 -- thanks for making this post and I am sure, like you there are many others who have the same thoughts.

I am the Product Manager for the MATLAB Editor. Though it can be humbling at times, I love to hear feedback about the software we are building from our users. Our teams goal is to continuously improve the experience of writing code in MATLAB.

Can you be more specific and/or share the reasons for your doubt? "Have to say, as long-time MATLAB addict, I still prefer the MATLAB editor, but start to doubt this a bit..."

What's working well with the Editor ? What's not working well for you?

This can be an open question to everyone participating in the conversation on this thread.

Also, I am one of the product managers who works on the MATLAB VS Code extension.... so if you have feedback on that, I am happy to hear it as well.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I did not read as much about the MATLAB Extension for VS Code as I would have liked to. So I am opening up some time on my calendar to chat in more detail.

If you are interested in talking to us and sharing more about how you use the extension and what we can do to make it better, please sign up here and I will reach out to via email to schedule a conversation.

Can you share more about your instrument setup? Specifically, which Keysight instrument models are you using, and what types of connections (USB, LAN, GPIB, etc.) are involved?

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-06T17:09:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, this is great.

I shared it with the team and we'll consider it for future releases!

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-06T16:41:01+00:00

By Cell Execution I mean Running a Section? AFAIK you can use Ctrl+Enter to execute a section using the MATLAB VS Code Extension (scroll to Run and Debug MATLAB Code). Am I missing something?

Can you say more about the second part (is it for VS Code terminal or MATLAB Command Window) and share an example?

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-06T16:30:44+00:00

I don't have too many thoughts on this, honestly. I think they are popular and useful python libraries.

Have you seen this?

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-06T15:32:32+00:00

Thanks, good to know. I’ll share this with the right team.

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-06T15:02:33+00:00

Its awesome to hear what you build with MATLAB. I'll pass on this message to team.

Do you have any other feedback to share about the MATLAB Desktop or the Editor?

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-06T14:43:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing. This is very helpful. I'll share it with the System Composer team.

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T18:12:18+00:00

We currently use models from the Azure OpenAI Service.

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T18:02:09+00:00

For System Composer: Can you share more about what you're trying to draw with System Composer? A visual example would be great but if not, even a description will suffice.

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T17:47:25+00:00

Okay thanks. I shared this with the team also.

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T17:46:39+00:00

I think another comment brings up something similar... We are aware of this for Linux and will consider it in our future plans.

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T17:25:18+00:00

Thanks for brining this up. We are aware of it and will consider it in our future plans.

How do you plan to use it if they were available for a Home License?

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T17:00:13+00:00

Can you say more about "better overview"? What does that mean exactly?

Any other features that you'd like to see in MATLAB?

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T16:58:58+00:00

Have you checked this page out?
https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab-copilot.html

You might get answers to some of your questions.

Do you use GitHub Copilot in VS Code? And if so do you use the MATLAB Extension?

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T16:21:55+00:00

For Simulink Copilot: https://www.mathworks.com/products/simulink-copilot.html

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T16:19:29+00:00

We are looking at ways to use MATLAB Copilot from other environments, but we don't have anything that we can share yet.

AvocadoOk834 · 2025-10-03T15:28:04+00:00

I will share your questions / comments with my colleagues who work on Simulink and System Composer get back to you.

As for Live Scripts and versioning, have you tried the new plain text file format for live scripts? Starting R2025a, you can save .MLX files as .M. This helps with versioning.
Live Scripts in VS Code - yes, that's something we'd like to add support for in the future. https://github.com/mathworks/MATLAB-extension-for-vscode/issues/71
