Re: [O] Trigger org-capture window using linux shortcut key
Sincere thanks for your reply . I got it to work on my Debian machine as follows. Ref: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/33650 1) I appended these lines to my ~/.emacs file (defadvice org-capture-finalize (after delete-capture-frame activate) "Advise capture-finalize to close the frame if it is the capture frame" (if (equal "capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name)) (delete-frame))) (defadvice org-capture-destroy (after delete-capture-frame activate) "Advise capture-destroy to close the frame if it is the capture frame" (if (equal "capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name)) (delete-frame))) (defun make-capture-frame () "Create a new frame and run org-capture." (interactive) (make-frame '((name . "capture"))) (select-frame-by-name "capture") (delete-other-windows) (org-capture) ) 2) On the debian machine - System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Add -> Command : /usr/bin/emacsclient -n -e '(make-capture-frame)' Shortcut : Ctrl+Alt+C (or any of your favorite key combination) That's it! Works like a charm for me and now I can capture anything that flashes across my mind in a fraction of seconds, not disturbing my original work flow on the PC. regards, Jackin On Wed, 2013-05-22 at 17:00 -0500, Matt Lundin wrote: > Jackin writes: > > > I am wondering if it is possible to start a org-capture window > > (when not within emacs) using a shortcut key.

The answer will likely depend on which desktop or window manager you use. I have the following in my openbox rc.xml: emacsclient -c -e "(org-capture)" Gnome and KDE will likely have a GUI for adding custom keyboard shortcuts. Best, Matt
[O] trigger org-capture window using linux shortcut key
Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to start a org-capture window (when not within emacs) using a shortcut key. Org-protocol allows this to be done from a web browser or adobe reader which is very useful. But I am thinking of a more general solution, for triggering a org-capture window from any where in Linux -> type in something and -> C-c c-c. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks in advance. -jackin

I've implemented this behaviour for my Xmonad desktop. The solution consists of two parts 1. The configuration of a shortcut calling a shell script in the Xmonad configuration file .xmonad/xmonad.hs 2. A shell script simulating the keystrokes to change to the virtual desktop were my Emacs lives and calling org-capture. #+BEGIN_SRC shell #!/bin/sh xdotool key Super+m 7 emacsclient -e '(org-capture)' #xdotool key Super+0 #+END_SRC -- Michael Strey www.strey.biz

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to start a org-capture window (when not within emacs) using a shortcut key. Org-protocol allows this to be done from a web browser or adobe reader which is very useful. But I am thinking of a more general solution, for triggering a org-capture window from any where in Linux -> type in something and -> C-c c-c. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks in advance. -jackin
