Are you referring to the older MATLAB editor, or to LiveScript, or are you referring to the MATLAB Answers site which recently gained a new editor ?

Text into MATLAB Answers:

If the text is text, then bring it up in some viewer (possibly MATLAB Editor), highlight appropriate portions of it, use your system text copy procedures (e.g., control-c for Windows, cmd-c for Mac). Then in MATLAB Answers editor, use your system text paste procedures (e.g., control-v for Windows, cmd-v for Mac).

If the text is code, then bring it up in some viewer (possibly MATLAB Editor), highlight appropriate portions of it, use your system text copy procedures (e.g., control-c for Windows, cmd-c for Mac). Then in MATLAB Answers editor, click the > icon (left-most in the 'CODE section of the toolbar) to start a code section, then use your system text paste procedures (e.g., control-v for Windows, cmd-v for Mac). If I recall correctly the key sequence for Windows that is equivalent to the > icon is control-r; on Mac it is alt-Enter .

MATLAB Answers into elsewhere such as MATLAB Editor:

If the material to be copied is text, then highlight it with your mouse, then use your system text copy procedures (e.g., control-c for Windows, cmd-c for Mac). Then in the destination, use your system text paste procedures (e.g., control-v for Windows, cmd-v for Mac).

If the material to be copied is code, then you can use the same as for text, but there is also a shortcut. The upper right corner of code blocks has the word Copy . If you click on that then the entire code block will be placed in your buffer, ready to copy into the destination.

And please don't forget to properly indent your code in MATLAB before you copy it here in Answers by typing control-a (to select all text) and then control-i (to fix indenting).

Many/most people forget this tremendously useful step.

On Ubuntu, this doesn't seem to work.

Matlab is horribly suited for Ubuntu
