I had trouble getting org-capture to behave from a hotkey:
It worked fine but would not give the emacs buffer focus making it pretty
useless.
I worked around the problem using wmctrl (which is in the debian/ubuntu
repos). I created a small script:
=======
#!/bin/bash
wmctrl -Fa 'emacs@dev'
emacsclient org-protocol:/capture:/foo/
========
where 'emacs@dev' is the title of my main emacs window when it comes up.
The script works fine even though the window's title changes when I use
multiple windows.
Now when I hit the pause key, the script runs and I can capture the thought
or snippet without interrupting what I'm doing.
I'm sure there is a better way but this works. It would be nice to avoid
needing wmctrl (I searched in vain for the 'give focus' option on
emacsclient) and to be able to drop the '/foo/' (without which it breaks).
Thanks for the help getting there.
