Hello! I have two questions:
1)I wonder if you can set up the Matlab to run certain scrip after a predefined keyboard short-cut is pressed?
2) As a similar question - how do I run three scripts one after another from one scrip?
Thanks! Dima

F5 will run what you have in the script window. To run scripts one after the other from one script, just call them one after the other as functions.

This is an old thread and I do not assume that the OP is still waiting. Anyway:
FEX: EditorMacro can trigger commands by pressing a key in the editor and the command window. If the command window does not have the focus, the job cannot and should not be done, because the user expects, that only the program in focus reacts to keyboard clicks.

Not that I know of, but you can set up a button on the shortcut toolbar to run an m-file with just a single click, no matter what the current folder is or where the m-file is located.

yes but this solution will require opening a new instance of the Matlab right?

No, it won't. Try it. Make sure the shortcut toolbar is showing. Then right click and select "New shortcut" - it will be available as soon as you're done editing it and saved it.

Is there a way to run a script when the cursor is not on the command window? As an example, it would be handy to close all the figures (run "close all") with a keystroke
