how to insert a source template

how to insert a source template

[Piter_]

Hi all.
I have no big knowlege of elisp. But I hope some one already done this.
I want to make a key binding which would insert a source code template
like this (I've got tired to type it every time):

#+source:
#+begin_src

#+end_src

Thanks.
Petro.

Also look at org-structure-template-alist.

Hi Petro,

You can use yasnippet to expand keywords into templates (like code
blocks) with TAB, see the following for instructions on using yasnippet
with Org-mode [1].

Alternately you could add the following elisp code to your config, and
bind the `org-insert-block' function to a comfortable key combination.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun org-insert-block (lang)
    (interactive "Mlanguage: ")
    (insert (format "#+begin_src %s\n  \n#+end_src" lang))
    (goto-char (- (point) 10)))
#+end_src

Cheers -- Eric

There is also a nice FAQ that outlines the various options:
