[Orgmode] Easy insert of verbatim symbols

[Sébastien Vauban]

Hello,

I often find it tedious to add `=' signs before and after the words that you
want to be rendered in verbatim, moreover when you want to do that in your
text, once it already has been written.

Adding this to your =.emacs=:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun insert-one-equal-or-two ()
  (interactive)
  (cond
   ((or (bolp) (not (looking-back "=")))
    ;; insert just one =
    (self-insert-command 1))
   ((save-excursion
      (backward-char)
      ;; Skip symbol backwards.
      (and (not (zerop (skip-syntax-backward "w_")))
           (not (looking-back "="))
           (or (insert-and-inherit "=") t))))
   (t
    ;; insert == around following symbol
    (delete-backward-char 1)
    (unless (looking-back "=") (insert-and-inherit "="))
    (save-excursion
      (skip-syntax-forward "w_")
      (unless (looking-at "=") (insert-and-inherit "="))))))

(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "=") 'insert-one-equal-or-two)
#+end_src

allows you to add just an equal sign at the end of the word, and the one is
front is automatically added...

Best regards,
  Seb
