First up, it's because it used to work and now it doesn't. ;] Second it can be very useful to work on a sub-buffer, or indirect buffer for some content. Why shouldn't I be able to edit the contents of that block inside an indirect buffer where my beginning-of-buffer, end-of-buffer, word wrap, or global find and replace are constrained to that block of text? This works for example blocks, but no longer for verse and quote blocks. These are native Org block types and not my fanciful made up ones. Why should the popup work for example blocks, but not the others? That borders on a bug, where my question was considered as a configuration question. Finally when you edit in the popup buffer, the results are indented which makes the document more legible. Regular text tools do that inconsistently. > The special buffer is for major modes which are not orgmode such as > programming languages or latex which use different > completions/highlighting/minor-modes and editing them in orgmode is > a hassle. I think what I am using were once called "special blocks". You're referring to source blocks. They have many more features but are outside the question. https://orgmode.org/manual/Special-blocks-in-LaTeX-export.html Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams rlad...@adamsinfoserv.com https://www.adamsinfoserv.com/
