Hello,

After coming across this post,
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72543162/color-parentheses-groups-in-matlabs-ide
I improved a lot my Matlab experience by better seeing the scope of a function, it’s arguments, parenthesis, etc. It’s great.

However, I was wondering if there is a way to setup a hotkey to remove the contents that are highlighthed by such delimiters. I couldn’t find anything online.

In other words, if Matlab is properly highlighting these delimiters (i.e. parenthesis, brackets, IF/END, etc) there must be a way to capture these 2 "endpoints" and just erase everything within it. Maybe some Java hacks which I’m not super familiar with?

I’m using Matlab 2020b and have no intention of changing it anytime soon (because I have custom libraries that stopped being supported) if that changes anything.

Thanks for any input!
