I'd like to keep the active buffer visible while capturing. Currently, when I invoke a capture template, the text I was viewing disappears. The frame splits into two parts: The capture template, and a calendar. Is there a way to have it split into three? Or have the capture buffer open in a new frame?

This has been solved in the past, in 2013 here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15253005/ and in 2014 here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21195327/ but those solutions don't work now with Org 8.3. I've tried editing some code in org-capture.el but without success.

Thanks,

  -k.
