How to break Matlab script execution? Ctrl-C does not work, probably because of using waitforbuttonpress inside catch:

while 1
    try
        waitforbuttonpress
    catch err
    end
end

`Ctrl-C` doesn't always stops scripts. Check [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4791144/how-to-stop-a-running-script-in-matlab). – plesiv Jun 22 '13 at 12:33

Also consider putting in a [feature request](http://www.mathworks.com/support/service_requests/contact_support.do) with The MathWorks. Mathematica can abort running code with no problem by simply quitting and restarting the kernel. In 2013 when one can't abort a running script on a modern 64-bit multicore machine, it's a failure of software architecture. Requiring users is to put in special code is no solution. – horchler Jun 23 '13 at 19:00
