Display script comment as contents in MATLAB "Script Editor", instead of "Current Folder" script overview
7 views (last 30 days)
Show older comments
The purpose is to view, check, click and link to script lines, with comment label by %%.
In "Current Folder", when a *.m script file is selected, this overview shown on the bottom of the current folder view section realizes what I need. I call the comments labeled by %% as "key comments".
But whenever I have some changes, and save the script, this key comments overview is refreshed and jumped back to the top. This becomes inconvenience when I have a lot of key comments, and when I am editing bottom part of my script. Every time I save the script, the overview jumps back to top, and I have to scroll down and look for my editing part labeled by the corresponding key comment.
I am guessing this overview in the current folder section was not primarily deisgned for my usage case. Is there an alternative way to show and linked to the key comments in my script?
