Thanks for the clarification. Obsoleting `org-capture-bookmark' sounds good, as the variable does not add new functionality which can not be achieved with `org-bookmark-names-plist' already. >> ...(Note, moreover, that currently >> the :last-capture-marker bookmark is created even in case >> `org-capture-bookmark' is set to nil, see `org-refile'.) > > May you elaborate? Are you sure that it is still the case on the latest main? I double checked in newest version of defun `org-refile' in main branch: The bookmark for :last-capture-marker is set independently of the value of `org-capture-bookmark'. The corresponding code looks like this: ---[snip: org-refile.el, line 608 ff.]--- (when (bound-and-true-p org-capture-is-refiling) (let ((bookmark-name (plist-get org-bookmark-names-plist :last-capture-marker))) (when bookmark-name (condition-case err (bookmark-set bookmark-name) ---[end snip]--- I would have expected that this bookmark is not set in case `org-capture-bookmark' is set to nil, something like this: ---[snip]--- (when (bound-and-true-p org-capture-is-refiling) (when org-capture-bookmark (let ((bookmark-name (plist-get org-bookmark-names-plist [...] ---[end snip]--- But, when obsoleting `org-capture-bookmark', this problem is solved anyhow: Bookmark creation can be fully controlled using the plist variable (and only there). So, I vote for obsoleting `org-capture-bookmark'. Thanks again for your help! Best regards, Tim.
