The desired functionality is at least implemented in the editor. You can edit a function when the cursor is at the name of the function (no need to select text) by Ctrl+E (Ctrl+D is used by QScintilla itself) or by activating the context menu at the desired function name.

An implementation in the command window is missing; the editor can only be invoked by "edit myfun" at the moment. I have edited the title to make clear that only the command window is affected.

One of the most useful features of the Matlab-IDE that I use on a daily basis is the possibility to open the currently selected function in the editor.
Suppose you have the above code and what to look at the source of myFunction, simply place your cursor somewhere in the text myFunction and Press Ctrl+D to open the myFunction.m in the editor. You can also select parts of text, to open a file with that: for example: select only "myFun" and the GUI should try to open myFun.m
It also should work from the command window. Use case: which myFun -all. Then select the path and press the hotkey und can browser the source.
