Works great! I went with this template:
(add-to-list 'org-beamer-environments-extra
'(minipage m \\begin{minipage}%O{%R} \\end{minipage}%))
For my use case, I rarely use overlay actions, so I repurposed it for
environment arguments.
Thanks a lot!
PS: OT, within beamer I find minipage is easier to manage than columns.

Well, I would rather keep the formatting in the org file, so no
\structure in the template. But otherwise your suggestion seems exactly
what I need :).
Unfortunately, BEAMER_OPTs are wrapped in square brackets thanks to
org-beamer--normalize-argument, so the above won't actually work (see
org-beamer--format-block). From the looks of it I'd be willing to call it
a bug, but Nicolas may have had something in mind.
I was thinking the same. That's why I felt the need for the old
BEAMER_arg property!
Perhaps these days it would be nice to allow the third element of
org-beamer-environments-extra to be a λ taking either the object or so.
Then again, perhaps this is an overkill and too low-level.
This might be nice, but as you say could be overkill. Although, there
are a few other cases which is harder to use with the current syntax.
Take minipage as an example, it takes 3 optional arguments[1].
Presently there is no way of dealing with something like that. Removing
the autowrapping of brackets would allow such cases, but it would
probably break a few Org files in the wild. From that perspective, a
lambda might be the way to go.
Personally, I'd use a block, e.g.
#+attr_latex: :options [t]{.1\textwidth}
#+begin_minipage
Cfit
#+end_minipage
Nice idea. I have never really explored using blocks (other than for
raw latex), maybe I should ...
Thanks,

[O] Custom column environment in beamer export
Hi,
Is it possible to define a custom column like environment? At the
moment I'm hacking around the need with this:
(add-to-list 'org-beamer-environments-extra
'(minipage m \\begin{minipage}%H \\end{minipage}%))
With the above I can export the following
* 0.1\linewidth :B_minipage:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: minipage
:END:
+/cFit/+
to
\begin{minipage}{0.1\linewidth}
\structure{\emph{cFit}}
\end{minipage}%
However within Org, not being able to specify a descriptive headline
sacrifices readability. It would be great if I could write something
like this:
* Fitting technique :B_minipage:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: minipage
:BEAMER_arg: 0.1\linewidth
:END:
+/cFit/+
I seem to recall this was possible in the past. Is there any chance to
get something like this going?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Cheers,
