Subject: Re: [feature request] org-capture-window-setup to stop capture window taking up whole frame
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 16:41:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <62a7f4ad0cbf4b37a52a0d8f324218b6@fcmailsvr2.familycareinc.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <874mm6pwsh.fsf@delle7240.chemeng.ucl.ac.uk>
Quickie patch, maybe I'll work it up as per comments later & submit but this will fix things for you (no guarantees, not widely tested)
Modify:
,org-cpature.el
In org-capture-fill-template
**********
(save-window-excursion
;; simplistic modification to avoid the capture-fill-template from
;; taking over the whole frame. It just moves to next window in cycling
;; order and uses that
;; proper patch would want configuration variable, more intelligent window choice,
;; and option to pop up new frame and destroy after capture-flll-template
;; (or use with template as well?
;; (delete-other-windows) don't delete other windows SMT 2015-06-17
(other-window 1) ;;stupid version, just go to next window in cycling order
(org-pop-to-buffer-same-window (get-buffer-create "*Capture*"))
