I cannot interrupt the display of a very large table with "more on"

I work a lot with large tables, so I typically have "more on". I used to be able to interrupt the display of a table with "q", but that doesn't seem to work for tables in Matlab 2020a.

It does, however, work for other things, like "help" pages, I am able to interrupt those; ditto for something very simple like (1:100)'.

Ctrl-C also does not work.

Is there something else I should be doing with tables?

It worked in 2017, haven't tried versions in between.

Thanks!

Displaying a large table is slow. I agree with you that Ctrl-C doesn't work. I used head(t) / tail(t) to just display the beginning/ending rows of the table. In R2022a, the table display is improved. It might help you.

% In R2022a
>> t = array2table(rand(1000,2))

t =

  1000×2 table
