Hi Thorsten and list

How are you?

small question. ive been using your amazing function daily last few days and been lovin' it :)

i wonder if i could request a tiny related feature (this may be very easy to do already).

i would like to assign hotkeys for 2 scenarios:

1) pre selected language for 1 line

2) pre selected language prompting for number of lines to wrap

so IE id assign F9-b to auto wrap current line with bash syntax while F9-l would wrap in lisp

also F10-b would prompt me how man lines to wrap in bash etc

is that possible? thanks you again for all your wonderful work

kind regards

Hi List,

I often missed the following command for wrapping existing content into
src-blocks in the past, besides knowing about
`org-babel-demarcate-block' and easy template insertion. Would it make
sense to add it to Org-mode?

I made it cover several use cases:

- Wrap sexp at point - perfect when on first paren of a nested list,
or when a string should be wrapped in a programming-mode, or a
word in a text-mode.

- Wrap region between point and +/- N lines forward/backward (very
fast because no point movement is involved).

- Wrap active region.

Usage:

1. wrap active region or (if none) sexp-at-point in emacs-lisp src-block

,----
| M-x org-wrap-in-src-block
`----

2. wrap active region or (if none) sexp-at-point in src-block, prompt
user for Org-Babel language

,----
| C-u M-x org-wrap-in-src-block
`----

3. prompt user for Org-Babel language and number of lines to wrap
(forward or backward)

,----
| C-u C-u M-x org-wrap-in-src-block
`----

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-wrap-in-src-block (&optional lang lines)
"Wrap sexp-at-point or region in src-block.

Use Org-Babel LANGuage for the src-block if given, Emacs-Lisp
otherwise. A region instead of the sexp-at-point is wrapped if
either

- optional argument LINES is an (positive or negative) integer
- or the region is active

In the first case the region is determined by moving +/- LINES
forward/backward from point using `forward-line', in the second
case the active region is used.

When called with prefix argument 'C-u', prompt the user for the
Org-Babel language to use. When called with two prefix arguments
'C-u C-u', prompt the user for both the Org-Babel language to use
and the number of lines to be wrapped."
