Subject: Capture feature suggestion: place the mark from a template
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 06:46:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <00da01cd2207$7cfe04b0$76fa0e10$@cfraizer.com> (raw)
I use a capture template like this:
("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "todo.org" "Tasks")
"* TODO %?\n :HIDDEN:\n %U\n :END:\n%!" :prepend t)
to create todo items. I want the cursor to be at the end of the
headline so I can type that in, but then I want to be able to quickly
jump to the end so I can type any details that I want.
I use "the mark" for that purpose, so I can type "C-x C-x" to jump
right where I want. So I modified the function
org-capture-place-entry to add the following lines:
(goto-char beg)
(if (re-search-forward "%!" end t)
(progn
(push-mark nil t nil)
(replace-match "")))
just before the final (goto-char beg) that will put the cursor
position at "%?".
(I guess I could have put that following ``(goto-char beg)'' inside
that ``(progn ...)''.)
Would anyone else find this a useful addition to the capture template
mechanism?
