I want to make a keyboard shortcut, fx Fn+Ctrl+z that would bring up Matlab so I can directly type into Matlab (Matlab already running ofcourse)
So if I wanted to calculate 2+2, I would press Fz+ctrl+z 2+2 enter

Re: Keyboard shortcut
You can probably focus the matlab window with the following command:
At least that works for me with firefox. To bind it to a keyboard shortcut, go to menu -> keyboard -> shortcut. Then add a shortcut for the above command. Tell me if it works.
Code: Select all
wmctrl -a Matlab
