Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Links and tab completion in matlab-shell

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi,

The links in the shell buffer may do one of two things.  They will either cause local code to run, like 'find-file-other-window', or it will ask MATLAB to execute the 'opentoline' or 'edit' commands.  If the anchor in the output text is a matlab: style anchor it may cause MATLAB to run that code.  If so, MATLAB will execute 'emacsclient' with some arguments and then your running emacs will pick up on that.  This is similar to if you ran MATLAB and Emacs separately, and changed the editor to be emacsclient.

Anyway, a simple test is at the >> prompt in matlab-shell to type:

>> edit ls

And see if that brings up ls.m in Emacs.  If not, you may need to start the Emacs server with 

M-x server-start

Or some equivalent in you .emacs.

Then try from the Unix shell to type:

$ emacsclient foo.txt

And see if that works.

Eric

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Links and tab completion in matlab-shell

Hi all,
During my six years at the university matlab-emacs  have been my  
weapon  of choice for editing. During christmas I saw the matlab-shell  
in action and I definitely want to change my workflow to incorporate  
it. Sadly I am unable to get it to function without major limitations.  
Assuming that I was just making an obvious beginner mistake I have  
been watching the mailing list since new year hoping to get some  
pointers on how to go about.

It looks like others are having similar problems, but I have yet to  
see a solution to my main problem: All links are present (mouse  
changes when i scroll over them) but pressing have no effect. I  
suspect the reason can be found in the error messages I receive when  
starting up matlab-shell:
   - Error in menu-bar-update-hook: (void-variable gdb-active-process)
   - Warning: Bug in matlab-shell-mode: it forgets to call `run-mode- 
hooks'
   - Error in menu-bar-update-hook: (void-variable gdb-active-process)
Googling has not helped, and I really don't know where to start.

In addition to this there is the problem of tab completion. When  
trying it I only get the message:
    - ad-Orig-error: No tags table loaded; try M-x visit-tags-table

My setup is GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, Carbon Version  
1.6.0)
  of 2009-09-30 on braeburn.aquamacs.org - Aquamacs Distribution 1.9
with matlab  7.9.0.529 (R2009b) and I presume the latest  version of  
matlab-emacs

All help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
/Daniel
