Re: [Orgmode] Clean capture from command line?
One of the things I'd like to be able to do is capture a new TODO from a command line. e.g. I use the following code that I got from Jack Moffit (http://www.metajack.im), that does more or less what you're looking for, I think. Add the following block to your org configs. ; (defadvice 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 capture-destroy (after delete-capture-frame activate) Advise capture-destroy to close the frame if it is the rememeber 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) ) ; Then call emacs as follows: emacsclient -n -e '(make-capture-frame)' Even better than calling from the command line in my experience is triggering directly from your window manager, or something like quicksliver if you use OS X...

I think you may have forgotten to say that the advices have to be activated? If so, I assume this would be done by: --8---cut here---start-8--- (ad-activate 'capture-finalize) (ad-activate 'capture-destroy) --8---cut here---end---8--- But, in any case, this doesn't seem to make any difference in my case. The capture process itself works. I get my menu of templates just fine. Org captures the information when it should, i.e. if I finish normally (C-c C-c), and ignores it if I abort (C-c C-k). In either case, the frame, named capture, remains. Hitting my delete-frame button (the Windows menu key to the right of my spacebar -- had to use these keys for something) works just fine so the problem is not with the delete frame function. Any suggestions? There's no error of any form that I can see. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 23.2.1 : using Org-mode version 7.3 (release_7.3.86.gb3d6f) ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Clean capture from command line?
I'm one of the legion gradually slipping more and more of my day-to-day process into org-mode. (Thanks, Carsten!) One of the things I'd like to be able to do is capture a new TODO from a command line. e.g. shell$ capture Fred wants a new database VM, 60G and maybe eventually something obnoxious with e.g. zenity, so that a key chord popped up a text dialog which would just seamlessly get fed to org-capture. Basically, I want to make the notation and just keep sailing. Of course, I've got the relevant org files open in an emacs on another desktop: miles and miles away. :) The obvious solution shell$ emacsclient -c -e (org-capture) (and maybe a '-t', to keep it in the tty) has a problem: when I finish the capture, I'm left with the session, and worse, when I try to close the emacsclient, (C-x #) it tells me No server buffers remain to edit, and I have to M-x delete-frame. Harshing my buzz, definitely. A gmane search on 'capture command line' in this group didn't seem to help much. Am I thinking about the problem the wrong way? How do you-all do that sort of ad-hoc capture? - Allen S. Rout ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Clean capture from command line?
I use zsh and I already use this: ,[ ~/bin/uriescapepwd.pl ] #!/usr/bin/perl -w use URI::Escape qw/ uri_escape uri_escape_utf8 /; use Cwd qw/getcwd abs_path/; $pwd = abs_path(getcwd); print uri_escape_utf8($pwd); ` ,[ .zshrc snippet ] # bind f9n to org-store-link bindkey -s \e[20~n 'emacsclient org-protocol://store-link://file:`uriescapepwd.pl`\n' ` (I stole this from somewhere, can't remember where, possibly this list.) it should be easy to just do , # bind f9t to org-remember bindkey -s \e[20~t 'emacsclient org-protocol://remember://file:`uriescapepwd.pl`\n' ` (I'm old school.) or even , # bind f9t to org-remember bindkey -s \e[20~t 'emacsclient org-protocol://capture://file:`uriescapepwd.pl`\n' ` I didn't test this, since I very rarely even use the first binding. I'm pretty sure this must be possible with bash and other shells as well. Of course this leaves you in the emacsclient again, so you probably want to follow Eric's hints on top of that.
