How can I increment values and run a cell in the MATLAB Editor for rapid code iteration in MATLAB 8.0 (R2012b)?

In MATLAB 7.14 (R2012a), there were a set of tools in the MATLAB Editor's menu that would allow me to increment, decrement, and scale a numeric value and run the cell that contains that value by placing a cursor near that numeric value and clicking plus, minus, divide, or times button.

This was very useful for rapid code iteration.

I cannot find the same functionality in MATLAB 8.0 (R2012b).

The rapid code iteration toolbar was moved into a right-click context menu.

You can make it a appear by right clicking in the editor and selecting "Increment value and run selection." A small box will appear. Place the cursor next to the value you want to edit. Clicking the plus, minus, times, and divide buttons will change the value near the cursor and run the section.

This feature was removed since R2021b, which is a bit of a shame.
