Your bindings probably work. But, as the function `org-capture' just *starts* the capture process, they are removed when exiting the 'let', before you even begin editing your capture. I'm not sure I understand your use case: if you have a piece of org text, you can put it anywhere (possibly using refiling). If you really want to just get the piece of text, you might be able to use the hook `org-capture-mode-hook' to replace the key binding to 'C-c C-c' in the capture buffer, so that it calls your own function that will take the string and call `org-capture-kill'. Note that they are safer way to modify Emacs behavior than overwriting the functions. You can usually use hooks (like `org-capture-mode-hook'): (info "(elisp) Hooks") or, if it's not possible, you can advise the functions: (info "(elisp) Advising Functions") Bruno
