Ah - I forgot we call the %% sections "cells". Perhaps a better name would be
code sections,
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/create-and-run-sections.html
I'll re-look at this soon.
Thanks
John

Hello John,
Thank you for taking a look!
By "Cells" I don't mean the matlab cell objects, but rather "code-blocks"
delimited by commented lines starting with "%%". I'm attaching a short matlab
script that can be used for trying it out.
I recommend trying out the following (interactive) functions to get a feel for
the additions:
1. Move point to the beginning of the buffer and try out the function
`matlab-cell-forward-cell'.
This should take you to the next cell (while highlighting). Do it a couple more
times to navigate.
2. Then try out the function `matlab-cell-backward-cell'.
3. Go to the third cell and try the function `matlab-cell-move-cell-up'.
This should move the contents of this cell to occur before the previous cell.
4. Try out `matlab-cell-move-cell-down' and this action will be reversed.
5. Next (ensure you have matlab-shell running) try out the function
`matlab-cell-shell-run-cell' to run the contents of the cell in the shell.
I rewrote this based on the matlab-cell environ to be consistent although
`matlab-shell-run-cell` does something similar.
And yes, I am using pos-bol and pos-eol - my emacs was giving me warnings
actually so I changed them. But I did not know that these were only introduced
in emacs 29. It makes sense to continue using the older functions - I'll fix it.
Thanks for the suggestion on the keybinding, it would make sense to have
something based on the convention that doesn't clash with anything else as
default.
I'll check with flycheck warnings before I push next! :)
Best,
Nidish

Hi
I like the idea of speedy navigation of cells.
I took a brief look at the matlab-cell branch but wasn't sure what it's
supposed to be used for. The first thing I tried was navigating a large cell
argument to a function, something like:
a = fun( { .... Big cell ....}, {.... Another cell ....})
Where the call to the function spanned many lines.
M-x matlab-cell-foward-cell
Jumped to the end of the file?
Can you share use cases which could be used for testing?
As for key bindings, it would be good to put them under C-c (take a look at the
C-c C-c CHAR in matlab-cgen.el). Maybe add some additional C-c C-c CHARs?
I saw you are using pos-eol instead of point-at-eol. pos-eol is new in Emacs
29, which now means we have a dependency on the compat library. Would be nice
to not require that dependency for Emacs 27 and later.
Can you use flycheck to cleanup minor issues in the lisp files you've added?
Thanks,
John

Right, after a short testing, I can confirm that. Today however I have
not much time for further testing, but I would like to run some tests
more before merging and maybe somebody else might come back to us.
