Hi all,
I can't seem to find an answer for this, maybe someone could tell me
what I am doing wrong. Based on what I read in the manual and
examples I have seen, the following is valid for creating
org-capture-templates:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline (concat org-directory
"/default.org") "Tasks")
"* TODO %?\n %i\n %a")
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree (concat org-directory
"/journal.org"))
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")
;;product stuff - I would like to move these to files and have
;;them loaded - maybe in the future
("bf" "Bluefin Todo" entry (file+headline (concat
org-directory "/bluefin.org") "Tasks")
"* TODO %?\n %i\n %a")))
the last one I am using "bf" as a key. When I go to use org capture,
the following is shown in the menu
Select a capture template
===================
[t] Todo
[j] Journal
[bf] Bluefin Todo
----------------------------------------
[C] Customize org-capture-templates
[q] Abort
but when I hit b (as in bf), the mini-buffer just says invalid key `b'
How do I use multiple keys?
Thanks!

I think you're missing this bit from org-capture-templates's docstring:
When using several keys, keys using the same prefix key must be
together in the list and preceded by a 2-element entry explaining
the prefix key, for example
("b" "Templates for marking stuff to buy")

Hello,
Is there somewhere in the org documentation or on the internet a complete
example of using multi-character keys in org-capture.
This excerpt from the documentation is not clear to me :/
"The keys that will select the template, as a string, characters only, for
example "a" for a template to be selected with a single key, or "bt" for
selection with two keys. When using several keys, keys using the same
prefix key must be sequential in the list and preceded by a 2-element entry
explaining the prefix key, for example
("b" "Templates for marking stuff to buy")
"
Moreover, can a prefix be composed of multiple characters or only one?
Thanks for your help.

The following example might help you understand. It's cut and paste
from a customize buffer for org-capture-templates.
With this customization one can use the keys x t p to get to the "tree poem"
capture. (Tree and poem is completely artificial.) And in the same way x t n
brings up the capture for "tree new".

Operate on all settings in this buffer:
