How to add math symbols to Live Script text?

Some five years ago, I used Matlab as a handy "math typewriter": it was easy to insert symbols to text without remembering their LaTeX keywords. I just opened a dropdown list and picked what I needed.

Now, I have installed Matlab R2023b to my new laptop, and I can not find that functionality any more.

1. Is it still there, and I'm just not able to find it?
2. Or, has it been removed, and I'b better just learn my LaTeX?
3. Or, should I install some extra library to get is working again?
4. Or, could I return to the old Matlab version (maybe Matlab 2018 or something like this)?

If your goal is to copy it outside of Matlab, wouldn't the normal editor still suffice?

Try clicking the 'Insert Equation' icon to open the equation editor.

Oh, yes, it's there. Thank you!

I was perhaps misled by the term equation that I took too literally. It did not occur to my mind that Matlab editor considers a single alpha to be an equation.
