This may be a naive answer, but let's try: why wouldn't you have another emacs-lisp block containing your standard configuration. In that way, you would simply to have to C-c C-c' it. #+begin_src dream? Maybe one could imagine having a hook searching for such a specifically named block and try to execute it, when switching to that buffer? #+end_src Best regards, Seb -- Sébastien Vauban _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
