When I use capture, the buffer ring ordering changes from what it was
before the capture. It even changes when I cancel the capture. Is
there a way to keep it exactly as it was in all cases?
What I expected was that previous-buffer would be the same before and
after and that next-buffer would be the same before and after. [In
other words, that capture + capture finalizing would not change
anything. The philosophy of capture, to my understanding, is that
capture is intended to allow you to take a note with minimum
distraction.]
What I tried was org-capture.
What I noticed was that the buffer ring ordering had changed.
I have previous-buffer and next-buffer set to function keys, and I
find them extremely useful. But when the buffer ring ordering
changes, I get confused. So capture confuses me.
Also, it seems to always split the window. Is there a way to fix that
that is better than my current method of deleting other windows in the
hook? I always require a single window.
Thanks.
Samuel

Hi Samuel,
Unfortunately, right now, I don't know a good way to avoid this. Org switches to a special buffer while filling in the template, in order to allow interactive prompts, and I think this might be the cause of messing with the buffer list.
