Hi @williamc96, thanks for the request!

Can you please add some more information about you workflows and different features you would expect in this?

For example:

  1. Do you want to view the App's UI (e.g. what is visible in the "Design View" tab in App Designer)?
  2. Do you want to modify the UI?
  3. When editing the code, do you want for regions to be read-only as they are in App Designer's "Code View" tab?

Hi @dklilley

I think primarily I'd want to be able to modify the functionality, e.g. some of the callback functions and functions potentially defined in the .mlapp file. So primarily just code editing would be my use case. When I need to actually edit the UI I don't mind opening it in the matlab app editor.

Thanks for the quick response!

I also need this feature, primarily hoping to directly edit the functions within it, and UI editing would be ideal, but it's not a deal-breaker

I am from the academic research community, and I want to say this feature would make my workflow many times better.

I also need this feature. Matlab's IDE is too heavy for me to edit the mlapp code.
