Re: org-capture-other-frame

Hi LLuis,

Thanks for sharing, this looks really interesting. Could you give us a
bit more information on how you are using it (how you are setting up
the hotkeys, what's the workflow, etc)? Some specs about your system
would help as well. I'm using OSX 10.6.

Cheers!

Marcelo.
