I have one comment and one question. The comment: if you have capture-templates set up, you can bypass them by calling `(org-capture nil t)' if you want that template. The question: is there a way to: - present only the capture buffer in the new frame (right now it's split with the scratch buffer)? - delete the window at the end of capture? According to some old discussion (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-11/msg00482.html) it is not possible, but things may have changed since then. Alan

How about `org-capture-after-finalize-hook'? What I can get from the pcumentation string it seems to be what you are looking for. You could try something like this: (add-hook org-capture-after-finalize-hook 'delete-frame) Just tried that, and on my machine this works.

Thanks, here is my modified version, if someone finds it useful. It tests for the frame name (there may be a simpler way to get it, but I could not find it) before deleting the frame. --8---cut here---start-8--- (add-hook 'org-capture-after-finalize-hook (lambda () (when (equal (cdr (assoc 'name (frame-parameters (selected-frame remember) (delete-frame --8---cut here---end---8--- Alan

Following the idea from Alexander, I tried to find a hook where I could call delete-other-windows. Unfortunately adding it to org-capture-hook does not work. Is there a place to do it? Thanks, Alan
Re: [O] Alfred workflow for org-capture
In addition to Alfred/Applescript, the Quickkeys application allows once to directly access emacs keybindings (without emacsclient) and then let emacs call call apple script to retrieve useful context for org-capture. My solution is completely stolen from John Wiegley, but it works great. After calling org-smart-capture with quickkeys, quickkeys calls the appropriate org-insert functions from here: https://github.com/jwiegley/dot-emacs/blob/master/dot-org.el#L534 Quickkeys just needs to know the frontmost application when capture was called, which is easy to configure, and then it types the relevant org-insert keybinding. John, has also written a function called smart-capture that goes directly to the capture template of one's choice: https://github.com/jwiegley/dot-emacs/blob/master/lisp/org-smart-capture.el Quickkeys is also worth its price for automating tons of actions with or without Apple Script.
