[O] Feature request: two-letter combination for org-capture

2011-06-07 Thread Darlan Cavalcante Moreira 

Hello list,

A nice feature of the org-agenda is the possibility to define two letter
combinations for the custom commands. From the manual I could not see how
to do this with org-capture and I'm guessing it is not possible right now.

Of course one can always define a single letter template for each
situation, but the same goes for the org-agenda and two-letter templates
can help a lot with the organization (also finding good letter choices).


Some use-case scenarios I can imagine:
 - Add todo items to specific projects (I know you can refile the note
   during the capture process, but this would be faster). All of the
   letters t and a project specific letter
 - Add a contact to a specific category: people using org-contacts could
   define different templates for work contacts and personal contacts, for
   instance.
 - Add a line to a specific table: Suppose you use tables in org to
   organize your expenses, but you have multiple tables, one for each kind
   of expense. You would be able to add one expense to a specific table
   (I'm not sure if refile from the capture buffer even works in this
   case).
 - Etc.

It already is... See an example below, with the helper function I defined for
myself...

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun my/org-capture-template (keys description file headline)
Create template for captured elements.
`(,keys ,description entry
(file+headline ,file ,headline)
* %^{Title}
   :PROPERTIES:
   :Created: %:date-timestamp-inactive
   :END:
%?
%i

From %a
:empty-lines 1))
#+end_src

... for avoiding repetitive skeleton:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq org-capture-templates
`(;; notes
  (N Templates adding notes)
  ,(my/org-capture-template
Ne Emacs ~/Public/Notes-on-Emacs.txt Notes)
 ;; [...]
  ,(my/org-capture-template
No Org ~/Public/Notes-on-Org.txt Notes)))
#+end_src

Best regards,
  Seb
