However, an issue I already had with remember is still bothering me, perhaps someone knows a good solution: I often call org-capture from within a buffer containing some relevant context, for example an e-mail message displayed by gnus. The emacs window created by org-capture that allows to choose a template is created below the two Gnus windows showing the group and the message. My org-capture templates require entering a date. During the subsequent date entry, the gnus windows are not visible anymore (I only see the nascent buffer with the entry to be captured and a window showing the emacs calendar). This is impractical, because the e-mail message often contains the very date I would like to enter. How to ensure that the buffer which was active when org-capture was executed remains visible during date entry? Thanks, Christoph
