Hi Yakir,

For me, M-; is supposed to add comments to the end of a line, as it does with other languages.  M-: is "eval" in Emacs, and not related to comments.

In matlab-mode, C-c ; and C-c :  will comment and uncomment a region, and I tried them, and they still work for me.  Is that what you were expecting?

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] commenting

Hi all,
I'm new to emacs and matlab-mode.
My problem is that I can't seem to comment and unncomment lines or regions in an m file while in MATLAB Fill (which I assume is the matlab mode) using emacs (GNU Emacs 23.3.1) on ubuntu (11.10) by pressing M-;. all that happens is that a % sign shows up at the ens of the line. If the line was already commented, pressing M-: doesn't do anything (neither selecting the uncomment option from the menu).
My .emacs file has only these 2 lines:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/matlab-emacs/")
(require 'matlab-load)
I hope this is silly and basic, thanks in advance for any help!!!
