MATLAB/Octave bundle update - goodies abound
Written by thomas on October 10th, 2008
This update brings a few fixes, as well as a couple of new functions.
- The bundle will now allow you to open function files by hitting ⇧⌘O. This was poorly implemented before, but the new version actually grabs your MATLAB/Octave path definitions and opens the m-file in question. If the function is a compiled p-, mex-, or oct-file, or if the function is not in your current MATLAB/Octave path, you will receive appropriate error messages.
- TextMate now gives you completion on functions in your MATLAB/Octave path! The feature, which is accessed using ⌥⎋, will do a search through all functions in the path and present them in a menu. See the images below for demonstration.

- You can now open your command history in both MATLAB and Octave.
Again, if you have any bugs or problems to report, please drop me an email.
The latest Matlab/Octave bundle can be downloaded via svn. If you don't want to mess with svn, you can download the zip file here.

Thanks for the bundle… I added some functionalities to the bundle that could be useful, namely launching a script from Textmate, and support of the “cell mode” that can be found in the matlab editor (you can run a single cell from Textmate too). Due to matlab not playing nice with others, this works when matlab is launched in -nodesktop mode in the terminal. Maybe you would want to add that in the bundle. I couldn’t find your mail adress…contact me !

I’m a newcommer in the matter of TextMate so sorry about my stupid question. I have installed your MATLAB Bundle. Is it now possible to run M-Files out of TextMate or do I have to save it for calling it up in MATLAB? Maybe there is something I didn’t understand.
Thanks!
