It is built into the core org distribution.
Re: Possibility to copy text outside EMACS and send it to orgmode document
Thanks. I have been trying to set org-protocol up, but... I can't find where this package is (silly, innit?). Where is the official org-protocol page where to download it? Thanks!

If your capture template has :immediate-finish setting set to t, the capture is done in background without raising Emacs frame. See v org-capture-templates for more details. Best, Ihor
Re: Possibility to copy text outside EMACS and send it to orgmode document
This is very cool, thanks, and I very much use Automator. I will have a look later, but it seems that you have to move focus to Emacs, so it does not directly send something to a orgmode document straight from the copy action in the browser.

I've done similar sorts of things in Linux with xdotool and xclip. These are very useful tools although a bit fiddly in their usage. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i - Via GNU/Linux/Emacs/Gnus/BBDB

I don't know if it is exactly what you are looking for, but maybe you might be interested in this extension for chrome and firefox that uses org-protocol: https://github.com/sprig/org-capture-extension Regards, Juan Manuel

This would be very useful. To add to emacs a key binding that runs a script calling pandoc, something like (untested, you are asking for ideas), and inserting new text from clipboard in_file=`mktemp --tmpdir convert.XX.html` out_file=`mktemp --tmpdir convert.XX.org` xclip -out -target text/html >"$in_file" pandoc --output="$out_file" "$in_file" xclip -in <"$out_file" No need to setup org-protocol. Maybe it is possible to avoid temporary files. TODO: - Temporary files should be removed - Unsure if pandoc is safe in respect to peculiar HTML formatting, maybe it has some special options for conversion of non-trusted files.

This would be very useful. > On macOS I've done _similar_ things to this (albeit not exactly what you're asking) by simply generating org text for me to paste in. For instance I have an applescript `org-current-tab`: ``` … on org_current_tab() tell application "Google Chrome" set the_title to title of active tab of front window set the_title to my replace_chars(the_title, "[", " ") set the_title to my replace_chars(the_title, "]", " ") return "[[" & URL of active tab of front window & "][" & the_title & "]]" as text end tell end org_current_tab ``` Then from anywhere I can activate this applescript and all I need to do is whack `C-y` in emacs and I get the link pasted in. It's not hard then to extend this directly into emacs via the `osascript` executable: ``` (defun org-current-tab () (interactive) (unless (eq major-mode 'org-mode) (user-error "This command must be triggered in an org buffer.")) (let* ((output (with-temp-buffer (call-process "osascript" nil t nil "-e" "tell application \"Finder\" to set current_tab_handlers to (load script file \"current_tab_handlers.scpt\" of folder \"Dropbox\" of home as alias)" "-e" "tell current_tab_handlers to org_current_tab()") (substring-no-properties (thing-at-point 'line t) 0 -1 (insert output))) ``` I'm not sure what environment you're in so you may not have access to a system's scripting tool like Applescript but depending on the scripting facilities of whatever you're targeting maybe you can get most of the way there. At the worst you could add whatever text you want to your clipboard and then write some elisp that processes it before writing it to your org buffer.
Re: Possibility to copy text outside EMACS and send it to orgmode document
Thanks, guys. I'll have a look. I understand that using org-protocol in combo with org-capture I would have to visit the Emacs window for capturing the copied text or not? Because this is crucial, as I aim to avoid this step. Thanks!

Re: Possibility to copy text outside EMACS and send it to orgmode document
You can achieve something a bit like this using org-protocol-capture-html https://github.com/alphapapa/org-protocol-capture-html. I'm not entirely sure whether you can bind the equivalent of a hook in javascript to run every time you C-c, but if you can, then it should be possible to match this exactly. You might also be able to wire up org-protocol to the X clipboard (if you are on linux). Best, Tom
Re: Possibility to copy text outside EMACS and send it to orgmode document
there is a tricky org-protocol thing you can do with emacsclient and a capture template, but i suspect that chrome has an extension just like firefox does called org-capture that does some of that in the browser itself. in firefox-esr, i select text and click the unicorn icon. you will have to read about capture templates to create your own to match the one that the org-capture extension uses [a single letter].

Possibility to copy text outside EMACS and send it to orgmode document
Basically that: as I copy (Control-C) text from the browser (Chrome), I would like those copied sentences to be sent to a ordered list in an OrgMode document: - copied text 1 - copied text 2 - etc. Any ideas? This would be very useful. Thanks!
