Hello Org-moders,
I have been a very happy ESS user so far. Recently, I was introduced to
org-mode and I am still a beginner.

I am trying to write a research paper using the literate programming style
of org-babel-R, instead of Sweave, and the journey has been OK so far. I
have a very lame question related to this, so please bear with me.

I am used to the ESS key-bindings, however they don't work properly in the
code block (begin_src R ... end_src). I googled and found that it is
recommended to use C-c ` to edit the source code in an Org-tmp buffer.
However, there are a few issues related to this:

1. Let's say I have a code block which contains some code in it. When I do
C-c ` a temporary buffer opens up but it doesn't include the R code that was
in the code block.
2. The temporary buffer for editing R code doesn't associate itself with
ESS, ie the key-bindings don't work. (I am addicted to the "smart _" key
 binding of ESS as well I am facing problems indenting the code using C-M-\)

Any help or pointers is much appreciated.

Thanks to Eric and other developers for implementing such a great idea.

Version: 7.3 (release_7.3-89-g97f4c
