Hi,
I'm trying to make an org-capture frame so I can call it conveniently
with a keystroke and emacsclient will launch and bring up
org-capture. This works, and it is very convenient for my
workflow. Basically I do the following in my awesome window manager
configuration:
awful.key({ modkey }, "q", function () awful.util.spawn("emacsclient --eval
'(make-capture-frame)'") end),
That allows me to hit Super-q and then it will spawn:
emacsclient --eval '(make-capture-frame)'
which I have defined in my .emacs.d/my-org.el as follows:
(defun make-capture-frame ()
"Create a new frame and run org-capture."
(interactive)
(make-frame '((name . "capture") (width . 80 ) (height . 10)))
(select-frame-by-name "capture")
(org-capture)
(delete-other-windows)
)
Everything works great, except... at some point, something happens and I
can no longer open a capture frame. When I hit the key nothing happens,
so I execute the emacsclient line in a shell and what I get is:
*ERROR*: bad text pointer cursor: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
I have no idea what this means, or how to debug it. I can still run M-x
org-capture, so that seems to still work, but otherwise I'm puzzled...So
I turn to you wizards for some help and guidance!
thanks for any ideas or suggestions for improvement,
micah
