Yes of course :) I am quite aware that org-capture just setups the buffer, and
that org-capture-finalize finnishes by writing stuff to files etc, and yet I
have tottally forgott it when writing this. This for opening my eyes.

it is just a fun test. I wouldn't do that myself normally and I have no idea why
the blog author needs it either. If I wanted to input multiline
text into some dokument I would open dokument itself. But this was just a
thought I am testing; you can read in the link I posted in the first mail.

In this case you wouldn't like to replace the key binding, it would affect all
org-capture buffers; the point is just to replace it when called in certain
context (my-read-line). Let-binding the function in this context achieves
exactly the same effect of C-c C-c beng bound to my function but without
affecting all org-capture-buffers.

Yes, I am aware of both hooks and advising; but again, with those I would affect
all uses of the function, and that would lead to checking some global state or
variable to switch on, which is not optimal either. With let-binding we can have
different behaviour only in a certain context.
Anyway, thanks, I needed the reminder above.
cheers
