Shortcut set for "evaluate selection" not working / responding in Matlab 2022b Update 4

I got o Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts and modify the shortcut for 'Evaluate Selection' to e.g., command + <.

However, after accepting changes, selecting code in the editor or command window and pressing command + < (or any other attempted shortcut) won't work.

Any help would be welcome, thank you.

I just had the exact same problem. I am trying different shortcuts, like command + 1 and it doesn't work

Since you mentioned "command+ <" as your shortcut key for evaluate selection, I am assuming you are working on mac platform. Here are some workarounds you can try:

• Check if the standard function key option is enabled:

Apple option -> System preferences -> Click keyboard and mouse -> Keyboard ->

Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.

• Try using the function key in the shortcut. For example, press Shift-Function-F1 instead of Shift-F1 to evaluate.
• If you are facing this issue in a live script and have a function m-file open .Close function m-file and open only live script.
