Re: Clean capture from command line?

[Friedrich Delgado <friedel@nomaden.org>]

I use zsh and I already use this:

,----[ ~/bin/uriescapepwd.pl ]
  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  use URI::Escape qw/ uri_escape uri_escape_utf8 /;
  use Cwd qw/getcwd abs_path/;
  $pwd = abs_path(getcwd);
  print uri_escape_utf8($pwd);
`----

,----[ .zshrc snippet ]
  # bind <f9>n to org-store-link
  bindkey -s "\e[20~n" 'emacsclient org-protocol://store-link://file:`uriescapepwd.pl`\n'
`----

(I stole this from somewhere, can't remember where, possibly this
list.)

it should be easy to just do
,----
  # bind <f9>t to org-remember
  bindkey -s "\e[20~t" 'emacsclient org-protocol://remember://file:`uriescapepwd.pl`\n'
`----

(I'm old school.)

or even
,----
  # bind <f9>t to org-remember
  bindkey -s "\e[20~t" 'emacsclient org-protocol://capture://file:`uriescapepwd.pl`\n'
`----


I didn't test this, since I very rarely even use the first binding.

I'm pretty sure this must be possible with bash and other shells as
well.

Of course this leaves you in the emacsclient again, so you probably
want to follow Eric's hints on top of that.
