On Mac OS X Clover-Tab lets me move between open applications without touching the mouse. When I get to the image I want to capture, I use the mouse to get the screenshot. IIRC, on KDE (linux) alt-tab cycles through open applications. I use this to select text from a terminal window and paste it into emacs (under X11). If you need the mouse to get to the view you want to capture, I think you will need some help from outside emacs. You need an application that lets you navigate a bit to get to the screen you need before setting off the screenshot. Maybe you can create a shell script that will allow you to navigate first, then capture the screenshot before exiting. I do not know of a way to do this purely within emacs. If you know how to put that script together, then call the script rather than 'scrot'. > > -also can one insert a delete mechanism for files deleted from the inline buffer (with a confirmation ofc). the reason i ask is because alot of the times the first 'take' isnt correct and that leaves alot of junk in these folders that are hard to trace manually In principal, you could put a confirmation query in the function, then unlink the file if you do not confirm it. But if elisp is a hurdle, a keyboard macro could do the trick. Figure out the keystrokes to navigate to the newest image file, then delete it, then get back to org. Then capture those keystrokes in a macro, save it, and you are good to go. See http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/ Keyboard-Macros.html HTH,
