How can I insert a remember template at point?
Until now I had identical remember templates and yasnippets.
This is only a workaround and I would prefer to be able to insert a remember template at point since I have found it to have features I could not reproduce.
Greetings from Austria,

I had this problem about a year ago. The trick is to insert a function
that returns the strings you need.
For example this is the function I used.
(defun org-csa () ;this strange function only *returns* the desired
;text, not inserts to the buffer.
" :PROPERTIES:
:ORDERED: t
:END:
*** TODO [[ooo:\"CSA Template.ott\" &][fill out template form]]
*** TODO [[shell:claws-mail pm@example.com.au &][submit for approval/
fixes]]
*** TODO save to text
*** TODO [[shell:claws-mail dr@example.com][send it to Darren]]")
Then you make your remember template call this function.
Like this:
("CSA" ?C "* TODO %^{topic} [/] %^g\n %t\n %(org-csa) \n %&" "~/.org/
CSA.org" bottom)
Cheers

Actually now ai read your post again more carefully, I think my last post
is not really what you are after.

Hi Eraldo,
currently there is no easy way to do this.
One way to hack it would be to write a function that temporarily
modifies to make
all remember templates point to the current location.
So something like (untested)
(defun my-remember-here ()
(interactive)
(let ((file buffer-file-name)
(heading (org-get-heading 'no-tags))
(org-remember-templates
(mapcar (lambda (x) (list (nth 0 x) (nth 1 x) (nth 2 x) file heading))
org-remember-templates)))
(call-interatively 'org-remember)))

While I have hoped to hear the opposite, it's good to know the truth. :)

I am again baffled how fast you get from request to code. ^^
I will definitely try out the function you posted.
Thanks a lot for that.
I will give feedback on it soon.
Is there anything else I can do (besides speeding up projects like
learning lisp) to make that feature part of remember?
That would go in org-remember if I understand that correctly.

I still have plans for rewriting the entire remember stuff.
This will be one of the features - if that ever happens... :)
