Hi,
when you are editing source blocks are you using org-edit-special,
normally
bound to C-c ') or are you just editing the source blocks directly
within the
org buffer?
The functionality you are referring to sounds like eldoc minor
mode.
If you open a dedicated buffer to edit a file in the same language
as your
source blocks, do you see the behaviour you want. For example,
open a file
called test.el and edit some Emacs lisp. If you don't see the
behaviour your
after, you need to configure emacs-lisp-mode to load eldoc mode.
Try typing M-x
eldoc-mode <ret> and see if you then get the behaviour your after.
If you do,
then read up on eldoc-mode and how to enable it.
The environment you get with a dedicated buffer and that you get
with
org-edit-special should be roughly the same. So the trick is to
get things
working how you like them using a dedicated *.el buffer and then
use
org-edit-special whenever you need to edit source blocks. There is
also another
good reason to use org-edit-special - there are some situations
where org needs
to add some special escaping characters in source blocks to enable
things to be
parsed correctly. Using org-edit-special ensures this occurs when
necessary.
Editing the source blocks directly does not.
