How to remap the copy-paste keyboard shortcuts in MATLAB on Ubuntu?

The default keys are alt-w for copying and ctrl-y for pasting. Is there any way to remap this to ctrl-c for copying and ctrl-v for pasting?

Solution

  • Yes. Go to Preferences -> Keyboard. There you will find "Command Window keybindings" and "Editor/Debugger" keybindings. These are most likely set to "Emacs" style for you -- you should change them to "Windows" style to copy and paste with Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, respectively.
