The last example in https://blog.jethro.dev/posts/capturing_inbox/[1], namely: ```emacs-lisp (setq org-capture-templates `(("l" "org-protocol-capture" entry (file "~/path/inbox.org") "* TODO [[%:link][%:description]]\n\n %i" :immediate-finish t))) ``` Seems to work consistently with: `xdg-open "org-protocol://capture?template=l&url=URL$(date --iso-8601=s)&title=TITLE$ (date --iso-86 01=s)&body=BODY$(date --iso-8601=s)"` Provided I have opened at least one org buffer before hand, otherwise it opens a buffer named `"org-protocol://capture?template=l&url=URL&title=TITLE&body=BODY" ` at what point it can get messy. Probably I have to "start" somehow "org-mode" first, and it doesn't get enough started from my `init.el`. Goal is to have the capturing work in the background, with emacs started as a daemon, but with no opened emacsclient frame: capture, simply, silently, unobtrusively. > Chris > > -------- > [1] https://orgmode.org/manual/The-capture-protocol.html > [2] > https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/org/org-protocol.el -------- [1] https://blog.jethro.dev/posts/capturing_inbox/
