Message-ID: <CALxTFT5Q85PjKjn0O5M+Q3douvnAs_K_Cx2ZsBuZ6TfHrp0t5Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Does anyone know how to approach creating dynamic Org-capture
templates? I'm looking for IDO/Helm type of completion after a
template has been selected. If string does not exist, it is created
and added to future completions, similar to new files in emacs.
Example:
C-c c
"a" (activity)
Activity: math (<--need completion here)
Topic: multiplication (<--need completion here)
Date: 2017-09-11 (<--need default to todays date)
Start time: 07:00 AM (<--need to define AM/PM easily)
Duration: 20 (<--easier way to capture time?)
Unit: mins
And
C-c c
"a" (activity)
Activity: physical education (<--again, completion starts as "ph.." is typed)
Type: Yoga (<--completion)
Class: Level 2 flow (<--completion)
Date: 2017-09-11 (<--date picker of some kind)
Start time: 07:00 AM (<--define AM/PM easily)
Duration: 90 (<--easy method for capturing time)
Unit: mins
Maybe Org-capture templates are not the correct way to approach this?
Any direction is appreciated.
Thanks
