Hello Chuck, Thank you for the feedback.

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? > `org-babel-demarcate-block' gives the user the ability to break up src blocks into smaller pieces so they can be run independently. Thanks for pointing that; I didn't know about `org-babel-demarcate-block'. Best, Carlos 2015-11-02 13:19 GMT-05:00 Charles C.

From b677ad4416d9e8dd564a46fcb4136cf6f5a90b29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carlos HMS Esteves <ch.machado.este...@gmail.com> Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2015 20:52:26 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ob-core.el: Allow execution of region of source code block * ob-core.el (org-babel-execute-src-block-region): Execute only active region of the current source block. Same as `org-babel-execute-src-block', but use only the active region instead of the whole block.
