Subject: window management for logging and capturing notes
Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2021 18:01:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zgrgke4b.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)
Hello all,
TL;DR: Is there something equivalent to org-src-window-setup for log
notes and org capture? I cannot find it.
Longer: I'm sure org has the capability I want (it always does) but I
cannot find it: as screens get bigger, I find I use more windows in a
given frame. Looking at the code leads me to believe that what I want
is not implemented but just in case...
One typical scenario is a zoom/teams window as one of many windows in a
frame during an online meeting. I should say I use exwm so Emacs is my
window manager and I have a single frame on each monitor. During these
meetings, I often want to capture things (org-capture) and/or add notes
(org-add-note) to a heading in a document. Unfortunately, I cannot seem
to have the type of control I wish over how new windows pop up for these
notes and often my meeting video disappears until the note is complete.
In general, I would want org-capture and note logging to use the current
window.
If there is no such setting, I will play around with
display-buffer-alist, I guess.
Thank you,
eric
