I don't think it is hard to make it work. I have tried my personal recursive buffer editing and other function and such work in recursive minibuffer, so it indicates that function org-capture could be made better that it works in every condition.

If I call org-capture from the minibuffer, the *Org Select* buffer does appear, but choosing any template produces an error message of the form: org-capture: Capture template ‘j’: Can’t expand minibuffer to full frame > One solution you can use is that you open separate Emacs instance or > Emacs as server that loads org-capture and serves for capturing > things.

Sure, but a much simpler solution is to exit the minibuffer before calling org-capture. *shrug* -- Omar

One solution you can use is that you open separate Emacs instance or Emacs as server that loads org-capture and serves for capturing things. It may run in background without interrupting your work. It can then spawn emacsclient to annotate or write the captured note. Jean

> Would you be okay with a user-error message like "Cannot call org-capture from the minibuffer"? Oh, if I'm going to get an error message I don't care which one it is. Might as well leave things as they are currently. What I was hoping is that you would be able to fix org-capture so that you can also call it from the minibuffer, if enable-recursive-minibuffers is set to t. I like to think that I can call org-capture no matter what I am doing, take a quick note or reminder, and go back to whatever it was. It is almost like that: I can't interrupt myself if the minibuffer is open, but I can in all other cases. This is not a big deal, so if it's not easy to fix, just leave it as is. But if it happens to be easy to do I think it would be worthwhile, so that org-capture can live up to its reputation of being able to quickly capture something /no matter what you were doing at the time/! -- Omar On Sat, Dec 12, 2020 at 12:32 PM Bastien wrote: > Hi Omar, > > thanks for reporting this. > > Omar Antolín Camarena writes: > > > I have enable-recursive-minibuffers set to t, and just noticed that > > org-capture does not work if called from the minibuffer. > > > > Steps to reproduce: > > > > 1. run emacs -Q > > 2. evaluate (setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t) in the scratch buffer > > 3.

Would you be okay with a user-error message like "Cannot call org-capture from the minibuffer" ? -- Bastien
Bug: org-capture does not work if called from minibuffer [9.4 (9.4-55-g706ba9-elpaplus @ /home/omarantolin/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20201207/)]
Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list. I have enable-recursive-minibuffers set to t, and just noticed that org-capture does not work if called from the minibuffer. Steps to reproduce: 1. run emacs -Q 2. evaluate (setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t) in the scratch buffer 3. Open the minibuffer, say by using C-x C-f 4. While still in find-file, run M-x org-capture and pick a template (t for Task seems to be offered by default). You should get an error message saying "Can't expand minibuffer to full frame".
