Emacs MATLAB code execution on Microsoft Windows using the Emacs matlab-netshell package

MATLAB for Microsoft Windows does not have a console mode, which means Emacs cannot run MATLAB inside of it (M-x matlab-shell is not available). However, Emacs can communicate with a running MATLAB session using a local TCP connection:

+--------------- Emacs ----------------+         +------------  MATLAB  ------------+
|                                      |         |                                  |
| (1) M-x matlab-netshell-server-start |         | (2) connect to Emacs             |
|                                      |<=======>| >> addpath <matlab-mode>/toolbox |
| (3) Visit script *.m files and use   |         | >> emacsinit                     |
|     "MATLAB -> Code Sections" menu   |         | >>                               |
|     or the key bindings              |         |                                  |
+--------------------------------------+         +----------------------------------+

Setup

  1. In Emacs, 
    M-x matlab-netshell-server-start
  2. In a running MATLAB, addpath to the Emacs-MATLAB-Mode/toolbox directory and then run emacsinit. For example, 
    >> addpath C:/Users/<USERNAME>/.emacs.d/elpa/matlab-mode-<VERSION>/toolbox
>> emacsinit

Example

Open the following ../examples/matlab-sections/tryout_matlabsection.m in Emacs and use the “MATLAB -> Code Sections” menu or key bindings to run the code sections in the attached MATLAB.

%% MATLAB code sections menu and keybindings
%
% Try:
%
% 1. Run (requires M-x matlab-shell, Unix only)
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Run section
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Run prior sections
% 2. Navigation
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Backward section
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Forward section
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Move to beginning
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Move to end
% 3. Move section content
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Mark/select section
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Move section up
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Move section down
% 4. Super "Windows" key bindings can be enabled or disabled, see
%      MATLAB -> Code Sections -> Help
