Maybe something like this: ,---- | (setq org-remember-templates | '((?c "* %?\n :PROPERTIES:\n :CATEGORY: %^{Category}\n :END:\n\n %i\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Tasks"))) `---- (Note that white spaces are important.) Inserting properties (including the CATEGORY property) interactively from a template looks a bit too much for me. But not using remember very often, and only for taking quick notes -- not editing my main Org file. > ps Is there an IRC channel for org?

Do you think "being-productive-with-Org" and "lurking-on-Org-channel" can get along nicely? Ahem. The good thing with the mailing is that it helps to provide a huge "dynamic FAQ" to googlers. IRC logs too often die in the darkness. -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
