I have a new computer with Matlab 2024b newly installed on it and am looking to import preference settings (mainly desktop layouts, font settings, and keyboard shortcuts) that I use in my Matlab installations on other computers. I am aware of this previous thread, but it is not applicable here, because it assumes that a previous release of Matlab resides on the computer. That is not the case for me, as the intended computer is brand new.
I have been able to import my desktop layouts manually by copying over the ___Layout.xml files that reside in the prefdir. However, I am not sure which prefdir file holds the fonts and keyboard shortcuts, so I have not been able to import those. Does anyone know which prefdir files are the applicable ones? I have tried copying over matlab.prf, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.I have a new computer with Matlab 2024b newly installed on it and am looking to import preference settings (mainly desktop layouts, font settings, and keyboard shortcuts) that I use in my Matlab installations on other computers.
