Comparing Visual Studio code completion with MATLAB R2008b 7.7 there are a few important features missing in the last one:

  1. Local variables completion

  2. Function, for, if auto ENDing

But Visual Studio doesn't support MATLAB code. Is there any MATLAB plugin, editor or version with a better code completion?

You could always take a look at MATLAB-Emacs integration (also deals with Vim in the article).

On Windows, Notepad++ allows code completion of functions and words.

Do you have any links to a MATLAB API file?

@Jacob - as far as I can see, the latest notepad++ binaries include matlab syntax support.

MATLAB syntax support in Notepad++ is pretty abysmal. It doesn't support %% cells, for one thing, and is just generally inferior to the MATLAB editor.

@jjparker Thanks for pointing out the lack of cell support in Notepad++. I rarely (never) use Matlab cells, so it's npt something I've tested in there

With the R2010a release of MATLAB, the Editor's tab completion now includes local variables.
