In addition to the edebug suggestion, you might try these two (three?) as well: If it's emacs that's hanging, then `strace -p <pid>' might give a hint, although it's probably better to run emacs under gdb as described in https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Checklist.html#Checklist That can get hairy though. If it's org-capture that's hanging, then setting debug-on-quit to t and pressing C-g when you get a hang might give you a backtrace. -- Nick
