Message-ID: <877ha9nfgy.fsf@ginnungagap.bsc.es> (raw)

I've made a little function to launch org-capture on another frame,
which is very handy when plugged into a hotkey and working with other
applications.

It lacks some settings that I already have active system wide (like no
scrollbars, no toolbar and the like), so you should probably tune those
(a defcustom for the frame parameters should suffice).

In any case, tell me (directly, as I'm not not subscribed) if you're
going to install this into org-mode. Otherwise I'll upload the snippet
into emacs wiki:

#+begin_src lisp
(defun my-org-capture-other-frame ()
  "Create a new frame and run org-capture."
  (interactive)
  (make-frame '((name . "Org-Capture")
                (width  . 120)
                (height .  20)
                (menu-bar-lines . 0)
                (tool-bar-lines . 0)
                (auto-lower . nil)
                (auto-raise . t)))
  (select-frame-by-name "Org-Capture")
  (if (condition-case nil
          (progn (org-capture) t)
        (error nil))
      (delete-other-windows)
    (my-org-capture-other-frame-cleanup)))

(defun my-org-capture-other-frame-cleanup ()
  "Close the Org-Capture frame."
  (if (equal "Org-Capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name))
      (delete-frame)))
(add-hook 'org-capture-after-finalize-hook 'my-org-capture-other-frame-cleanup)
#+end_src


Thanks,
    Lluis
