Hey all
I am trying to call org-remember and automatically select making a journal entry
(associated with the character "j").
I have tried the following:
(org-remember "j")
(org-remember ?J)
describe-function on org-remember mentions org-force-remember-template-char so I
have also tried:
(let ((org-force-remember-template-char ?j))
(org-remember))
(let ((org-force-remember-template-char "j"))
(org-remember))
But all of these display the prompt to select which remember-type to create.
As might be apparent I am not really proficient in elisp, so I am hoping you
guys can help me out
kind regards
Søren Pedersen

Following section of manual seems to suggests that you have more than
one template defined and available in that specific mode.
,----[ http://orgmode.org/manual/Remember-templates.html#Remember-templates ]
| When you call M-x org-remember (or M-x remember) to remember
| something, Org will prompt for a key to select the template (if you
| have more than one template) and then prepare the buffer [...]
`----
So either you need to delete other templates or if you call this
template in a specific mode then you can consider defining template so
that it is the only available template in that mode (please see the
URL of the quoted section for details.) I haven't had a chance to
test this yet but seems like a plausible solution.

I figured it out myself (by, what else, reading the source):
(org-remember nil ?j)
Does what I want.
org-remember takes 2 optional variables, the first one designating whether to
jump directly to the place where the rememeber will be placed, and the second
one being what I was looking for.
