Auto indent all code without ctrl+A in MATLAB

Question

One can auto indent all code in a .m file by typing ctrl+A followed by ctrl+I. However, this requires selecting all code which in my MATLAB IDE (R2011a, Linux, with Windows Shortcuts) moves the cursor to the end of the .m file. I then have to scroll back to where I was working.

Is there a way to autoindent an entire .m file without moving the cursor to the end of the file?

Answer 1

Many modern IDEs and text editors, including MATLAB, support the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+g for the "Go to line #" command.

I would therefore suggest simply remembering the line number you were on, and just coming back to it using the aforementioned shortcut after applying the indent the way you described.
