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
