Re: [O] Trigger org-capture window using linux shortcut key

2013-06-12 Thread jackin 
Sincere thanks for your reply . I got it to work on my Debian machine as
follows.

Ref: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/33650

1) I appended these lines to my ~/.emacs file

(defadvice org-capture-finalize (after delete-capture-frame activate)
  Advise capture-finalize to close the frame if it is the capture
frame
  (if (equal capture (frame-parameter nil 'name))
  (delete-frame)))

(defadvice org-capture-destroy (after delete-capture-frame activate)
  Advise capture-destroy to close the frame if it is the capture frame
  (if (equal capture (frame-parameter nil 'name))
  (delete-frame)))

(defun make-capture-frame ()
  Create a new frame and run org-capture.
  (interactive)
  (make-frame '((name . capture)))
  (select-frame-by-name capture)
  (delete-other-windows)
  (org-capture)
  )


2) On the debian machine - 
System - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts - Add -
Command : /usr/bin/emacsclient -n -e '(make-capture-frame)'
Shortcut : Ctrl+Alt+C (or any of your favorite key combination)

That's it! Works like a charm for me and now I can capture anything that
flashes across my mind in a fraction of seconds, not disturbing my
original work flow on the PC.


regards,
Jackin

 The answer will likely depend on which desktop or window manager you
 use. I have the following in my openbox rc.xml:
 
 keybind key=W-r
   action name=Execute
 executeemacsclient -c -e (org-capture)/execute
   /action
 /keybind
 
 Gnome and KDE will likely have a GUI for adding custom keyboard

I've implemented this behaviour for my Xmonad desktop.  The solution
consists of two parts

1. The configuration of a shortcut calling a shell script in the Xmonad
configuration file .xmonad/xmonad.hs


2. A shell script simulating the keystrokes to change to the virtual
desktop were my Emacs lives and calling org-capture.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
#!/bin/sh

xdotool key Super+m 7
emacsclient -e '(org-capture)'
#xdotool key Super+0
#+END_SRC
