Re: Keybinding that loops through Major Modes

[Christopher Dimech <dimech@gmx.com>]

Have used Org Babel before.  My situation is more complicated
because I use Org Commands in Source Files as well.  To add
further complication, I also add rec commands that can be parsed
by Gnu Recutils, which is useful to we because I can compute some
metrics for my code, such as the Cyclomatic Complexity of each
function.
