Jump to method definition regardless of class it is defined in

Question

In the MatlabⓇ IDE, is there any easy way to jump to the definition of a particular method, without knowing in what class it is defined?

For self-contained functions, I can type edit funcname.m. The same for classes. However, the hierarchy of superclasses for a particular class may be large. By using metaclasses, I can find out in what class a method was defined, then open the class, and browse to the appropiate definition. This is a lot more work than it is for self-contained functions.

From the interactive prompt, is there any direct way to either jump to the definition of a particular method, or put a breakpoint in this method (so that executing it will cause the editor to jump to the definition)?

Answer 1

Actually in MATLAB's IDE you can move between functions within a file. If you want to get more information about a function that you are calling in your code, you can use Open Selection (CTRL+D with Windows keybindings) to quickly jump to where the function is defined.

if you move the cursor on a function in the editor and then press ctrl+D the function will be open in the editor. for methods inside a class you can use 'Go To'. If the method is defined in the present class.
