Since bug #40156 is no longer about GUI keybindings I want to suggest adding ctrl-a by default for selecting the entire text in the current editor tab.

closing report. Plesae refer to
bug #40156 for suggested shortcuts,
bug #41199 for code section support, and
bug #41217 for customizable key bindings

I think this can be closed.
it's been split off in #40156, #41199, #41217.

this one is a missing feature not just a different keybinding:
"Evaluate section (sections are separated by %% )"
(Matlab call such sections "cells")
So I've filed in into a separate bug report (#41199). let me know if that's excessive separation.

I'll file a separate report with the feature request for customizable keybindings.
may I suggest marking the present bug as a duplicate of the earlier #40156?
I'll copy the ones given here other there, then summarize them all.
thanks.

I meant, matlab's defaults for the current OS.

we say "matlab" what is meant is is matlab's default settings.

Matlab has multiple default sets of keybindings and they are customizable. So saying that Octave needs to have keybinding X to match what Matlab doesn't make much sense to me. What we need first is a way to customize the keybindings. Then we can define default sets for various prferences (Emacs, Windows, OS X, whatever).

Hotkey for "Find Next" is missing (F3 on windows systems)

with --traditional, these "should be"...

Ehm .... "...Should be..." ?
Who says what key bindings "should" have what functionality?
Just to put things in the proper perspective, the goal of the Octave project (the way I see it) is not to make a free (as in "free beer"), 1:1 Matlab clone out of Octave and blindly copy the GUI + look and feel.
Matlab compatibility in the sense of .m-files etc. running without (too many) changes is indeed an Octave project goal.
With that confusion out of the way, it may be (just a guess) that the GUI developers first want to implement configurable key shortcuts before adding other functionality.
The things you mention are already in the picture.
As to F9, 2 minutes ago it still worked for me ;-)
The "evaluate section" is a little more complicated.
Octave (also) recognizes '#' for comment lines and in fact, Octave's coding style prescribes '##' (double hashes) to start comment lines.
So we'd first have to think up a way to properly implement sections so that it works with the Octave coding style.
(operating system set to "any" as key bindings aren't limited to Windows)

Great to have finally a default GUI!
I use the build from http://octave.osuv.de/3.8/windows/octave-3.8.0-1-installer.exe
I miss shortcuts especially for:
Toggle Breakpoint (Should be F12)
Evaluate current selection (Should be F9)
Evaluate section (sections are separated by %% )(Should be Ctrl + Enter)
