Hello

I am using GNU emacs 26 and org 8.3.6.


I have used org-capture a long time ago and do not recall the details,
but I thought I could select a text and then org-capture would copy that
selected text to a file of my choice in a format I can customize. A bit
like good old remember does/did.

For example I have set

        ("j" "Journal Entry"
         entry (file+datetree "~/ALLES/journal.org")
         "* %?"
         :empty-lines 1)


But when I call org-capture and then j the selected text is not copied.
What do I miss?

Regards

Uwe Brauer

I think you need to insert %c somewhere in your template. See
`org-capture-templates' for details.

Try adding "%i" to the capture template, for example like so:

         ("j" "Journal Entry"
          entry (file+datetree "~/ALLES/journal.org")
          "* %?\n\n  %i"
          :empty-lines 1)
