Try putting the following fragment into python-mode, and getting rid

This is with latest git.

Hi Dan,

could you please check the following variables:

org-tab-first-hook

`----

OK, that was it, thanks. I had

(add-hook 'org-tab-first-hook 'org-insert-link-maybe)

I believe org-insert-link-maybe (code below) is something that Eric
threw together: am I right in thinking it has not been incorporated into
org core?

In any case, could someone help me with the regexp problem I encountered
when I tried to improve it? Here's the original version

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 (defun org-insert-link-maybe ()
   "insert a file link depending on the context"
   (interactive)
   (let ((case-fold-search t))
     (if (save-excursion
(when (re-search-backward "[[:space:]]" nil t) (forward- char 1)
                 (looking-at "\\[?\\[?file:?")))
         (progn (replace-match "") (org-insert-link '(4)) t)
       nil)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I want to (a) restrict it to looking at the current line and (b) not
allow it to match words like 'filepath'. This seems to be almost there

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-insert-link-maybe ()
 "insert a file link depending on the context"
 (interactive)
 (let ((case-fold-search t))
   (if (save-excursion
          (backward-word)
          (looking-at "\\[?\\[?file:?[ \t\n\f\v\r]"))
        (progn (replace-match "") (org-insert-link '(4)) t)
     nil)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But this doesn't match 'file' followed by end-of-buffer. I want a
character class that matches any of
{space,tab,newline,end-of-buffer}. How do I do that? It seems that
although "\\'" matches end-of-buffer, it doesn't work in a character
class ("[\\']")?

"\\(?:[ \t\n]\\|\\'\\)"
