Hi Carsten,
Thanks for org-capture. It is superb.
I think I have only been able to find one suggestion for it.
Currently, cancelling leaves a blank line. Maybe there is a way to
fix that? Do I need to provide details?
It is also tempting to make (kill-buffer nil) ask you if you want to
cancel the capture.

Hi Samuel,
this is not easy to fix. I need to insert one empty line to
make sure that the user does not by accident remove the final newline
and in this way deactivate the following headline.
Then, at kill time, when I am cleaning up, it is hard to tell if there
was an empty line originally....
So the current procedure is safer and I will keep it like this.

How do you call (kill-buffer nil) ?
If you have a special key for this, you can bind it in
org-capture-mode-map to org-capture-kill. If you are using the
interactive
version of `kill-buffer', I don't think it is a good idea to change
this because
users will expect the buffer name prompt at that point.

In my case, there is never one, FWIW. I.e. the following never
happens deliberately.
* target
** new entry
Nor this.
* target
text
** new entry
So in principle it's OK to clean it up for users like me, in case you
decide to make that optional. I'd enable that.
In any case, again, capture is superb. Safe and fast.

Well, maybe I can do some more work on this. We'll see.
