Yes there is. There is some api call to get the names of the editor tabs. I don't have it on this computer but I'll see if I can get it when I get to my other computer. I got the code from Yair Altman.

Hi thanks for your answer.
I'm a littel confused about the attached code. What should exactly do with that?
  1. Copy code and save them in the matlab path folder.
  2. Uncomment them.
After that, how could I a shortcut for quick search editor name?
kind regards,
Xiaodi

I don't know. You're on your own (unless you want to contact Yair). I don't even know exactly what you want.

I am not clear as to what you want, but it might possibly help to know that
editors = matlab.desktop.editor.getAll;
This is an array of Document . Each one has a property named Filename that can be examined to determine whether it is the desired session. Once you have determined the proper index, you can use the makeActive method on it, such as
editors(2).makeActive
