These bindings make source block navigation and editing really fast and fun! (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "s-j") #'org-babel-next-src-block) (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "s-k") #'org-babel-previous-src-block) (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "s-l") #'org-edit-src-code) (define-key org-src-mode-map (kbd "s-l") #'org-edit-src-exit) Here the 'l' key binding is the most important. It makes for fast entry and exit of the source block. For my mind the default bindings "C-c '" interrupts my mental flow. It is like hearing the sound of a cash register drawer sliding out, doing some work there and then getting shoved back in every single time. Ouch. On the other hand, "s-l" both to enter and exit the source blocks, is like hearing a gentle breath of air to cool a cup of tea that is a tiny bit too warm, doing your work and then another gentle breath when you leave the block. That is the best way I can describe how much difference the two bindings make. It is really a "feels" thing, and it feels a lot better. Seriously, these bindings might make you fall in love with source block editing all the time.
