I just upgraded to R2024a and am using dark mode. Previously, in my R2023b release, if I used the plot function in the command line (e.g. "plot(randn(1, 100))") a figure would pop up, but the cursor would remain active in the command window. This was helpful for rapid data exploration – I could type a plot command, look at the results, then programatically close it in the command line and continue on.
Now, after a plotting function is called, the command window is no longer active. I have to manually select the command window using the cursor if I want to continue entering commands. This really slows me down. Is there some setting or preference that can be flipped to return control back to the command window? I tried using keyboard shortcuts to return to the command window (ctrl-0, from Use Keyboard Shortcuts to Navigate MATLAB – MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)), but this does nothing.
