Is the Matlab feature "Ctrl+Scroll to increade/decrease value" still present in 2021b or newer?

As the title says, is the old Matlab functionality to quickly increase a value and run the section with a simple "ctrl + mouse wheel scroll" still present in newer versions? I really used it a lot, and since I updated the software to 2021 it stopped working...

Hello,

Since 21b, MATLAB provides the functionality to zoom in/out using ctrl + scroll up/down. This key combination is no longer bound to increase value and run the particular section.

For more information, you can refer to the release notes of 21b - https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/release-notes.html

I hope it helps

So basically it has been removed to allow ctrl+scroll zooming, since my beloved functionality is considered as covered by the Live Scripts Numeric Sliders. Thanks.

Correct, the numeric sliders are considered to do the same job.

(I personally would not consider them to match, since the previous functionality was debugging work whereas the sliders are modifying the basic functionality. On the other hand, I never used the functionality as it was.)

Thanks Walter! I see some light at the end of the tunnel of deprecated features....

No, and it is not expected to return. MathWorks recommends using the Livescript widgets that permit the user to modify a value.
