I'm currently trying to write a function to do some post-capture
updates to an entry. My intention is to add it to
org-capture-after-finalize-hook. First step is navigating to the
captured item but I'd like to return to the current buffer I was in
before. I'm still a novice with elisp, so I could use a pointer here.
Here is a simplified example:
M-: (save-excursion (org-capture-goto-last-stored))
Is there a better way to navigate to the last capture and then return
to my current buffer?
Thanks,
Jon Miller
;; My current full version:
(defun jsm/org-project-properties ()
"Takes the current heading title, denoting the project, and
sets the :EXPORT_TITLE: and :CATEGORY: properties to the same."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(org-capture-goto-last-stored) ; Aka C-u C-u org-capture
(let ((project-title (org-get-heading t t)))
(org-set-property "EXPORT_TITLE" project-title)
(org-set-property "CATEGORY" project-title))))

Well, save-excursion does restore the current buffer but is not
switching to it. Executing
,----
| (progn
| (save-excursion
| (org-capture-goto-last-stored))
| (princ (current-buffer)))
`----
in *scratch* tells me that the current-buffer after the excursion is
*scratch*. What you are looking for is saving and restoring the
windows configuration (visible buffers in a frame).
C-h f save-window-excursion RET
This should do the trick:
,----
| (progn
| (save-excursion
| (save-window-excursion
| (org-capture-goto-last-stored))))
`----
Best,

Awesome, thanks. That worked for me.
Now to add my conditional logic for which parent headings I want
this behavior to apply to and I'm done.
Thanks again,
Jon Miller
