If you have a figure you can use a WindowKeyPressFcn callback.

If you do not have a figure, then no way is provided within Matlab
itself.

If you happen to be running under MS Windows then there is a
Matlab File Exchange (FEX) contribution that can test for waiting keys.

Dude, I had the same problem

I think it would be best to anticipate the chance of an infinite loop
by putting a delay in the code like this:

while x< blah blah blah
x(n)= blah*n -blah blah blah
n=n+1
pause(0.001) % put this so you have a chance to stop the code
when matlab pauses
end

If the loop is indeed infinite or is taking super long, then you press
"ctrl-C" (works on my mac; not sure about windows)
and you should regain control of matlab.

Hope that helped
