I would with the addition that I'd also like to allow a function in there that would determine if the template should be pre-selected. The trouble with implementing this is that you need to modify the customize type, in a way that is compatible with older versions. This has happened before with the org-remember-templates, therefore there is already a :get element that normalizes the value. Please modify this in a way so that customize will swallow old settings.

I think it = would make sense to reduce the number of available = templates

when calling = `org-remember'. This would be done by adding a new = element

to each = template:

= t: force = pre-selection of this template in every = context

'(major-mode): = pre-select this template only in major mode (actually = a

= &n= bsp;list of major modes)

= nil: never pre-select = this template, unless there are no other

= &n= bsp;pre-selected templates

The default = value would be `nil' for all template, so that the = current

behavior wouldn't be = touched.

Would people = find this useful?

I would with the addition that I'd = also like to allow a function
