Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Config problem matlab-emacs on linux

[Dineva, E. E <eve...@ui...>]

Hi Kevin,

your mail remind's me that I forgot to mention that one also needs to add for Ubuntu to .bashrc:
export EDITOR="emacsclient"

and, as Daniel mentioned earlier, one also needs to add to .emacs the line:
(server-start)

As for searching in the matlab-shell, you can type the initial letters of a command and then browse the history with the up/down arrow keys.

Cheers,
 Evelina
