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.

I have been doing quite some programming with elisp in org mode,
and one
thing I am missing is this help that Emacs shows in minibuffer
for
functions and macros. You can see the example in the attached
image. I
am not sure what I have to enable (or disable? :)) to get it to
work in
babel src blocks? Or is it even possible?
Some few days ago I stumbled on a blog post by J. Kitchin about
enabling
orignal mode maps in src block:
<https://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2017/06/10/Adding-keymaps-to-src-blocks-via-org-font-lock-hook/>
That was another thing I was missing, and that one work really
well.
Thank yuu John!
Can that hack be used to enable this help to pup up in
minibuffer as
well. I am not familiar what causes that lookup, but I see it
happends
even when Emacs is started with -Q option, so it is something
built-in
and enabled by default, probably in elisp-mode itself.
Last thing I miss is company doing it's thing. I can complete by
pressing TAB, but I would still like it to happen automatically.
Is it
just me being noob and not enabling something, or is it bit more
coplicated than so?
Sorry for the long writing, but basically what I ask is, can we
get more
of usualy elisp stuff hanpening in babel src blocks?
Regards,
Tim
