Reading what you described made me think of James TD Smith & Carsten's comments (Date: 25 November 2008 11:46:19 GMT) about a two key sequence to org-remember. If there were a way to designate a particular buffer for the prompting of org-remember (can Emacs have two mini-buffers?) then you could make a frame with two windows. The top buffer is just an org-remember buffer and hitting C-c C-c would prompt you for the template to apply. Then all that would need to be added is to automatically re-enter the org-remember buffer. Would it cause a stack explosion if the (imaginary) org-remember-after- filing-hook called org-remember again? I'll add that for my own purposes (and mainly because my remember- templates are rather primative) I find that one remember buffer can add multiple todo entries. I just keep on adding headlines with M-S- (org-insert-todo-heading) while my brain is hot with ideas before I hit C-c C-c (org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c). If I think I need to immediately refile, that's what C-u C-c C-c is for :-) Question about a console mode: Are you thinking of something like a shell buffer in emacs, where you have a default directory (org analogy: org-buffer/headline); access to history with M-p and M-n; where the buffer grows longer as you enter items. Or are you thinking that the buffer would be cleared to blank every time you hit C-c C-c (what I was assuming while writing the above paragraph) -Ben
