CarlosBest,Thanks for pointing that; I didn't know about `org-babel-demarcate-block'.I understand that. My idea is to avoid the need to C-c ' back and forth. Actually that's a problem I have with org-babel; I usually find myself coding inside the src block and losing many of the major mode functionalities; switching to the edit buffer often seem too much of a hassle. Any tips about how to get more major-mode functionalities inside the src-block? Or should I develop the muscle memory to switch back and forth to the edit buffer all the time?You are right, I've updated the patch.Hello Chuck,Thank you for the feedback.

Hello, I find it useful to be able to execute only a region of a source
code block, so I've implemented a new function for that. I've tested it
with MATLAB and Python, but it should work for any mode, since it calls
org-babel-execute-src-block.
You might want to check that point and mark are both inside the src block. Otherwise, the results are unpredictable.
Also note that:
ess-mode, python-mode, sh-mode and octave-mode already provide this capability (and a lot more) for R, python, shell scripts, octave/matlab and some other languages from the edit buffer.
`org-babel-demarcate-block' gives the user the ability to break up src blocks into smaller pieces so they can be run independently.
Best,
