Feature request - Matlab interactive windows

[zguo235]

Thank you for starting the official support for vscode. I also use python for data analysis and python interactive window in vscode is an indispensable tool for me to do trial-and-error process in data analysis. I know that there is a jupyter-matlab-proxy project and I think it would be very useful if I can use it as a matlab interactive window.

• Define Jupyter-like code cells within matlab code using some comments (e.g. '% ##')
• Add Run Cell codelens adornments to run the cell in the matlab interactive window.

The python interactive windows can be a referencehttps://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py#_jupyter-code-cells. The jupyter interactive window works perfectly with the jupyter-matlab-proxy, so I would like to see a feature that I can write codes in the editor and test them in the interactive windows.

Thank you for this suggestion!

As we investigate and plan bringing execution capabilities to the extension, this is something we will consider.

Would you also consider executing & rendering of live scripts & functions, i.e. .mlx files?

[dklilley]

Hi @jankap , can you open a separate issue focused on .mlx files? Thanks!
