shortcut keys for mark ups

shortcut keys for mark ups

[Xin Shi]

Hello,

In org mode, are there any shortcut keys for typing the following mark-ups?

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
#+END_EXAMPLE

Thanks!

Xin

Not that I'm aware of.  You can use a function like the following to
achieve this - or maybe you can use yasnippets (I've never tried that
yet)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(defun bth-begin-example ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (beginning-of-line)
    (insert "#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE\n")
    (end-of-line)
    (insert "\n#+END_EXAMPLE")))


(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> e") 'bth-begin-example)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then you can just type <f9> e while on a line and it'll put the EXAMPLE
block around the current line.

Hi Xin,

there is only an undocumented way to do this:

On an empty line, insert "<e" and then type TAB.

See org-structure-template-alist for a configurable list of similar  
templates.

Hi Carsten,

That's cool! I think it'll be great to document them on the org-manual.

Hi Bernt,

Thanks for your reply! That's what I was trying to do. But I think 
Carsten's suggestion of using the "org-structure-template-alist" is more 
appealing to general user.

I do like thought that Bernt puts his template around the current  
line.....

Re: Re: shortcut keys for mark ups

Or use the org-mode map rather than global key

(define-key org-mode-map  (kbd "C-<f9>") '(lambda()(interactive)(insert "#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE\n\n#+END_EXAMPLE")(previous-line)))

How can I extend this function to wrap the current selection into a

#+BEGIN_SRC
...code...
#+END_SRC

string while also interactively asking the user for a language string?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
;;  ============================================================
;; Puts current selection between #+BEGIN_SRC and #+END_SRC
;; and ask for language
;;  ============================================================
;; TODO:
;;  1. Retrieve beginning (C-SPACE) and
;;     end of selection (current position)
;;  2. Ask for language and insert that string
;;     after `#+BEGIN_SRC '
(defun my-wrap-src ()
   (interactive)
   (save-excursion
     (beginning-of-line)
     (insert "#+BEGIN_SRC\n")
     (end-of-line)
     (insert "\n#+END_SRC")))
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "<f9> s") 'my-wrap-src)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Example org code before function call:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Sample Code
public class Bla {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Hello");
	}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------

With the code above:

- Mark the region: C-SPACE on the letter `p' of the string `public' and 
moving the cursor behind the last closing curly bracket.

- String after being asked for a language: `java'

Example org code after function call:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Sample Code
#+BEGIN_SRC java
public class Bla {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Hello");
	}
}
#+END_SRC
-----------------------------------------------------------------

TIA,

Something like this maybe?  It's not 100% to spec. I find regions that
are entire lines easier to work with so the end point would be the
beginning of the first line not in the region (not after the })
For me - triple clicking and dragging selects entire lines which works
well for this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(defun my-wrap-src ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((beg (region-beginning))
	(end (region-end))
	(src (read-from-minibuffer "Source type: " "java")))
    (save-excursion
      (goto-char (region-end))
      (insert "#+END_SRC\n")
      (goto-char (region-beginning))
      (insert "#+BEGIN_SRC " src "\n"))))
------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want your behaviour you probably jsut have to change 
      (insert "#+END_SRC\n")
to
      (insert "\n#+END_SRC")
but that's untested.

Wonderful! Thank you very much, it works like a charm! And your analysis 
of my sloppy specs was also correct.

Thank you,
