Well thank you all for the discussion at least. I've been using Org Mode for 2+
years, didn't know this, and it is now my favorite “feature” :)

I added this in 9.1.2:
To insert the capture at point in an Org buffer, call @code{org-capture} with
a @code{C-0} prefix argument.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: [O] Capturing to current file
Correction to my 4/20 The Org Manual section I suggest for the additional documentation is 9.1.2, not 9.2.1 Charles Millar On 4/20/2012 8:58 AM, Bastien wrote: Hi Nick, Nick Dokos writes: Charles wrote: I thought that the manual states to capture a TODO to the current file use /C-0 (zero) then proceed with the capture.

Re: [O] Capturing to current file
The only thing it needs is to insert above the current headline if you are in body text.

Re: [O] Capturing to current file
I thought that the manual states to capture a TODO to the current file use /C-0 (zero) then proceed with the capture. I use this frequently. Am I missing something in the question?

I couldn't really tell what the OP requested, but if it is indeed
storing the capture in the current file, the answer is "that can be
done". AFAIK, it's not documented anywhere except on the mailing list
though - see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/35759/focus=35781
Something like this (untested):
(setq org-capture-templates
'(
("X" "test" entry (file+headline (buffer-file-name (org-capture-get
:original-buffer)) "Tasks") "* TODO %?
%U %a %n" :prepend t)))

Re: [O] Capturing to current file
Can you capture to the header just above the current header?

[O] Capturing to current file
Hi there, I am trying to create a thought bin related to a specific project (org-file, where I perform all my writing task). My idea is very simple, if an idea, todo item related to the project i am working on, which is usually the case, I would like to file it under a specific heading within the same file rather than a master file. Any thoughts on how to do this ? Thanks M
