Increase Time Limit
10 seconds isn't enough. I would like an option to increase the command execution time limit.
163 votesOver the last month, the “Add 15 Seconds” button has been used over 10,000 times. Since this seems to be working for people, this can be considered a permanent feature. Thanks, everyone, for expressing your interest in a way to add more running time!

28 votesThis feature is now live.

Publish Script Files
Be able to write a script file and share a link for anyone to view and run that script file. Users can copy the published script file into their own account. Users will have read-only access to the published script file, unlike the current workspace-sharing feature, which only allows for read-write access.
22 votesThis feature is now available! Check out the new share button in the file editor. You can publish one or more files in a “bucket”, which becomes a read-only snapshot.

Payload: Pause instead of interrupt execution
If you run a command that produces too much output, the command gets interrupted, which is intended to prevent accidentally sending millions of bytes across your data connection. However, if all the output is actually what you want, it would be nicer if you could choose "Keep Running the Command" instead.
9 votesThere is now a button to resume a command that was paused due to the “payload too large” error.

add additional support for the edit command.
I would like to be able to open files to edit from the command line. For example I whould like to be able to type "edit testfile.m" and have testfile.m open in the octave online interactive editor window.
Currently "edit testfile.m" will create the file if it does not exist but it will not open the file in the editor window. When I type EDITOR the response I get back is "ans = emacs". If this is something simple like redefining EDITOR as something different please let me know.
7 votesThe “edit” command now opens the specified file in Octave Online’s editor and creates it if it does not exist.

add ability to rename, or ' save as.. ', an .m file from the files menu
Currently if I want to change the name of the .m file residing on the left pannel, I have to open it, copy it's content, then delete the file and create another one with desired name, paste content, and save it...
I think this is different from, and easier to implement than the related posted idea "Add ability to rename functions" which involves .octaverc file. But correct me if I am wrong.
5 votesThe ability to rename existing files has been added. You can also rename and delete non-script files, like *.xls and *.mat.

add support for input
I tried to use "input" and it didn't work. It timed out with no way I could find to actually input a number.
4 votesThis feature is live! The Octave “input” function, as well as related functions like “yes_or_no”, should now be supported in Octave Online.

Have figures open a new window or tab
The current figure window is terrible, it is always stalling out on me, and even if I clear the window I am not able to remove my previous plot. It would be nice if it opened up in a new tab or window that was simple to print from.
3 votesThe plot window has been re-designed for the upcoming release of Octave Online, including the support for inline plots. The change can be previewed at octave-online.net:3000. If you still prefer the idea of plots opening an entirely different window or tab, please open a new idea ticket. :)

data files
How can I upload data files that are not .m files ?
3 votesUpdate: uploaded *.mat files are now shown in the file list in the editor. The machine-readable *mat files generated by MATLAB cannot yet be edited directly in the GUI; Octave commands are required for making changes to datafiles.
