Subject: default value for org-capture-templates
Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2018 11:17:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <99a3fff5-b9c2-44e9-965a-e40c9fe89ffe@www.fastmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
A question came up on StackOverflow asking about how to use the default capture template (`Task`) in combination with user-defined templates: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/46794/where-is-default-org-mode-capture-template-for-tasks-located
The default Task template is actually stored in the function `org-capture-select-template`. This is a bit surprising, and requires the user to manually transfer it to the the variable `org-capture-templates` if they want to keep it as one of their options.
Is there a reason not to set this built-in `Task` template as the default value of `org-capture-templates`? That would provide the user with a transparent way of keeping it as an option, modifying it, or removing it, as they prefer, through the usual customize interface.
I can put together a patch to do this if I haven't overlooked a problem this would create.
Best,
Tyler
