Query about org-beamer-select-environment

Greetings,


I went to access the BEAMER_act property via C-c C-b and see it's not
listed in the minibuffer choices (attached) The manual describes this
function like so:[1]

C-c C-b     (org-beamer-select-environment)In org-beamer-mode, this
key offers fast selection of a Beamer environment or the BEAMER_COL
property.

Looking at the options, this looks pretty accurate, though one might
say that BMCOL is more about a property of the resulting
environment/property than a specific environment itself. Just curious
about the possibility of adding the other possible beamer-specific
properties in such a handy picker, as I often forget and then need to
go look at the manual.

It looks like BEAMER_act and BEAMER_opt are the only ones not in that list.

If not, no worries -- never hurts to ask!


Best regards,
John

Good idea. What binding do you suggest?

I thought about "<" for BEAMER_ACT and "[" for BEAMER_OPT, but that may
not be optimal.

Good suggestion, John.  I've been setting these via C-c C-x p.

On of my computers has a UK keyboard.  As I remember it '<' is
annoying to get to (shift-, I think).  '[' is annoying on a Danish
keyboards ("Right M"-8).

In any case, why not stick with a key that almost surely doesn't
require a modifier?  It's probably not as logically pleasing as your
suggestion, but still. . .
