Is it possible to change color of executed codes for easily identify dead codes

Hi everyone:

I think when taking over large projects, we've all encountered the experience where there are sections of code left behind by predecessors that are never executed. However, due to the sheer number of lines of code and the disorganized structure, it's often difficult to pinpoint the locations of dead code. So, I wanted to ask if there's a feature in MATLAB that can colorize executed code, making it easy for us to identify dead code by recognizing sections that remain uncolored.

The profiler does that:

There is no coloration, but the editor throws up a warning for unreachable code.

This feature only works for code outside the function, but I need a comprehensive review result.

It works for code inside functions as well.
