How to combine all script windows into one window with tabs

Hi there

Silly question. I used to have all of my scripts as tabs in a single window. Now, for some reason, Matlab shows me each new script in a separate window, which quickly gets very difficult to manage. How do I revert this sudden change back to the normal setting?

Cheers

Jakob

just close the window and open again the script in your main window

You may need to undock the Editor. There is a small white triangle inside a white circle on a blue background in the upper right corner of the Editor window. Click on it and undock the Editor in the dropdown menu. Typing CTRL+Shift+D may also work.

Ah yes. Docking all and then undocking afterwards solved the problem. Thank you very much!

Hey thanks for the answer. I was wondering if there is a way to do this in code. Is there a way to make my script open all figures as tabs inside one window?

@Shriram — My pleasure!

I’m not certain that’s possible.

Explore the settings and SettingsGroup documentation to see if the option to do what you want exists.

That’s the best I can do.

R2025a Pre-Release by default opens all figure() within a tab in the command window. If you undock the figures then by default it creates a tabbed group in a seperate window, with all of the figures being tabs inside the window. You need to undock the the figures for them to appear as seperate windows (each with a large border.)

This is not the case for uifigure() -- those each open in seperate windows by default.
