I'm loving the level of polish and sophistication that have been achieved with org-babel. My entire PhD thesis is currently written in org and org-babel, and it's the best authoring system I've ever used. That said, I have a couple of features that I regularly find myself missing. I wonder whether other folks might also find them useful. First, in terms of navigation, I would love to have keybindings under the C-c C-v prefix that would navigate to the next and previous babel blocks. org-babel-goto-named-source-block[fn:1] is great, but a) not all my blocks are named, and b) I don't always remember the name of the block I'm looking for. On that note... Currently, org-babel-goto-named-source-block doesn't currently offer any completion facilities in my setup. Is there a way to hook it into the rest of org's completion mechanisms so that I can hit tab to complete the names of my source blocks? Finally, to go along with facilities to navigate from source block to source block, I'd also make regular use of something like org-execute-src-block-and-step, which would execute the current block and then jump to the next (or previous) one. Thanks again for these excellent tools, /au Footnotes: [fn:1] This is the only function that uses "source" instead of "src" in its name.

Although I am coming from a completely different perspective (Developer using it for literate programming), org-babel is, in fact, as the kids say, the bomb. > First, in terms of navigation, I would love to have keybindings under > the C-c C-v prefix that would navigate to the next and previous babel > blocks. org-babel-goto-named-source-block[fn:1] is great, but a) not all my blocks are named, and b) I don't always remember the name of the block > I'm looking for. One of the things you could do here is to search forward or backward for #+BEGIN_SRC. You could even record a macro to make it. That would at least hold you over till it was developed. I also agree about completion based on the name of the source block. That would be very handy. If I may be so bold as to piggyback on Austins feature request, if the gathering of the candidates happened in a separate function from the interactive function that does the completion, then it could be used by packages like auto-complete. __________________________________ Jonathan Arkell Tech Lead Inspired By Drum & Bass, Scheme, Kawaii p. 403.206.4377 402 -- 11th Ave SE Calgary, AB, Canada T2G 0Y4 jonathana@criticalmass.com criticalmass.com On Jul 10, 2010, at 8:22 AM, Austin Frank wrote: > Hello! > > I'm loving the level of polish and sophistication that have been > achieved with org-babel.
