Skeletons and abbrev-mode have always gotten the job done for me, with minimal fuss. Here's my skeleton for org source blocks: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (define-skeleton skel-org-block "Insert an org block" "Type: " "#+begin_" str - "\n" _ \n "#+end_" str "\n") (define-abbrev org-mode-abbrev-table "blk" "" 'skel-org-block) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- You can see a whole range of options for inserting source blocks in this FAQ: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#shortcuts-for-entering-source-blocks Best, Matt
