Yes, it works great. However, to make the remember function work I had
to add a line to the lisp, so that the relevant section now reads:
(cond ((equal proto remember)
(kill-new orglink) ;; added to put the link in the kill-ring
(org-remember ?w))
((equal proto annotation)
(message Copied '%s' to the kill-ring. orglink)
(kill-new orglink))
I don't fully understand why I needed to add the line -- all I know is
that without it the link isn't in the kill-ring when I yank it.
I couple this with this template:
(web-clip ?w * %^{Paste page title/URL}\n %u\n :PROPERTIES:
\n :END: \n %? ~/plans/webclips.org)
I suspect I'll use this a lot -- thanks for setting it up. (And I
understand that once we have the functionality in the template to yank
the kill-ring to a point indicated by %c it will be simpler still.)
The next question is whether the link and perhaps other bits of
information can be passed as variables instead of via the kill-ring. I
ask because it would be great to block (and perhaps copy) a section of
a web page, click on the bookmarklet, and then see a template with the
link/title and the section of text that I blocked/copied already
entered. Something like this:
* link:[[http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/07/][A news article]]
[2007-11-07 Wed]
:PROPERTIES:
Here is the text I blocked/copied from the web page. It might be 3 or
4 sentences, and it might be set off somehow either by quotation
marks or perhaps a different indent level.
point is here for any notes I want to add to the entry
I don't know whether others will use this functionality. I confess that
part of my interest stems from my experience with the only program I
miss from my days using windows software -- a program called Zoot
(http://www.zootsoftware.com/). Zoot does many things, but one thing I
really like is that it makes it very easy to store, annotate, and
organize links to web pages.

I tried to do that. Here's an updated version of org-annotation-helper.
org-annotation-helper.el
Description: application/emacs-lisp
The template I used is
(?f * %^{Paste the link}%?\n\n%:region)
The bookmarklet:
javascript:location.href='remember://' + location.href + '%1C' + \
escape(document.title) + '%1C' + escape(window.getSelection())
This basically add a :region property to the link created by the
bookmarklet, :region containing data from window.getSelection()
I don't know whether others will use this functionality.
Would be nice to know... I didn't use it a lot myself for now; I can
put the file somewhere on the web if needed.

Re: [Orgmode] Org Remember idea
I've started using Remember mode more and more, and it has given me an idea for new piece of functionality. %c - insert clipboard/kill-ring at point This is for 'auto' pasting links or snippets of text from my browser into an org file. I used planner mode for a while before switching to org mode, and still occasionally look in on planner to see what they're doing. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled on this in the list planner-el-discuss: Ever wanted to create a planner annotation or start remember directly from within an external web browser, say Firefox? Here's how I do it. I've registered special protocol handlers in the browser, remember:// and annotation://. I've configured these handlers to call a script that passes the information to a running Emacs session using emacsclient/gnuclient. The remember/annotation handlers are invoked through bookmarklets (bookmarks which execute JavaScript code). The remember:// protocol starts M-x remember with a planner link for the current website filled in, using the document title as the description of the link, just like planner-w3m does. The annotation:// protocol handler works similar to `planner-annotation-as-kill': it puts a planner link in the kill ring. I would really like to have something like this for org. The poster actually included the lisp code, the browser protocols, and the script that did all this. I know next to nothing about lisp so was unable to do anything with it, but is it possible that it could be easy for someone who knows this stuff to adapt it to org?

With the patch I just posted to the concurrent thread concerning embedding elisp in remember templates, this should easily be achieved via something like %(x-clipboard-yank) or you could even define a wrapper function `x-clipboard-yank-safely' which watches out for the case where the clipboard contents are large and handles the situation accordingly, then use it via %(x-clipboard-yank-safely) Though `%c' is easier to type, of course :-) ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
