I have a edit box that requires user input values.
Is there a way to put the cursor in the editbox without click the box? Instead I want the user to be able to press enter key to activate the editbox and input their value.

Yes, as of MATLAB R2022a.
See the focus function which is also reviewed in this Community Highlight.
