Org Capture is better than remember in almost all respects.  I have made
some notes on confusing differences, and other issues, for later.  Today,
I'll be more specific about something I'd like to do: it seems to me that
the capture interface would be useful for starting a relative timer,
immediately putting one into the buffer to start entering notes from the
get-go.

I thought about using the notion of a function to open the file and start
the timer; however, I haven't gotten my head around the idea of using a
function as a target for capture.  Are there any example functions around
for study?

Another issue, maybe a difference from org-remember, catches me off guard
almost every time I use capture: the subtle, or maybe not-so-subtle
difference that since one is already in the file---and with the relevant
parameter, the file is not even narrowed---is it even possible to capture to
a file, and leave that file open normally, and not as a capture buffer?
Probably I am missing something here...

I like alot the arrangement of the initial capture screen, with multiple key
entrypoints to culusters of functions: I use it for several template
groups.  Is it possible to sort the templates in the *Org Select* capture
menu buffer, by key strokes in alphabetical order?  I know if I did not use
the customize interface to do this, it was easy to sort them in the .emacs
file.   WIth the ease of entry from Capture directly, though, the customize
approach is really convenient.  I do notice I cannot enter line breaks into
the Template section of a customize entry, though.

Thank you for this tool.  I use it all the time.
