#+TITLE: org-rich-yank

[[https://melpa.org/#/org-rich-yank][https://melpa.org/packages/org-rich-yank-badge.svg]]

Do you often yank source code into your org files, manually

surrounding it in =#+BEGIN_SRC= blocks? This package will give you a

new way of pasting that automatically surrounds the snippet in blocks,

marked with the major mode of where the code came from, and adds a

link to the source file after the block.

* Installation

** MELPA

If you use [[https://melpa.org/][MELPA]], you can just do =M-x list-packages=, find

=org-rich-yank= in the list and hit =i x=.

** Manual

Just put =org-rich-yank.el= somewhere in =load-path=.

* Usage

** Manual, loading on startup:

To use, require and bind whatever keys you prefer to the

interactive function:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(require 'org-rich-yank)

(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-M-y") #'org-rich-yank)

#+END_SRC

** With use-package, enabled after org:

If you prefer =use-package=, the above settings would be:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(use-package org-rich-yank

  :ensure t

  :demand t

  :bind (:map org-mode-map

              ("C-M-y" . org-rich-yank)))

#+END_SRC

The =:demand t= in there is because we never know when the user will

hit =C-M-y=, so we always have to store the current buffer on

kills. You can remove the =:demand t= and have lazy/deferred loading,

but then the first time you hit =C-M-y= after startup, you'll get a

message that you have to kill the selection again.

* Configuration

** Image support

If you have =org-download= installed and you copy image contents,

=org-rich-yank= will defer to =org-download-clipboard=. You can turn

this feature off by setting =org-rich-yank-download-image= to =nil=.

** Changing the link/block format

If you want to change how the source block or link is formatted, you

can do so by setting =org-rich-yank-format-paste= to a function. For

example, links to local files might be useful in your org document but

not so useful in exported content, so you may want to make such a link

a /comment/ line.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no

  (defun my-org-rich-yank-format-paste (language contents link)

    "Based on `org-rich-yank--format-paste-default'."

    (format "#+BEGIN_SRC %s\n%s\n#+END_SRC\n#+comment: %s"

            language

            (org-rich-yank--trim-nl contents)

            link))

  (customize-set-variable 'org-rich-yank-format-paste #'my-org-rich-yank-format-paste)

#+end_src

Configuring the variable as above results in the following content being pasted:

#+begin_example

  ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

  ;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24.4"))
