I love org-mode. It is perfect for things like a work journal/ daily
"work done" diary.
I would love an org mode console.
Bring it up with a single hot key, text entered defaulted to selected
region if there is one. Hit commit - bang. text "remembered" with
timestamp to a journal. No prompts. No title. Just enter text, hit C-c C-c
and it logs to a default/selected journal.
I would probably have it always open at the bottom of the screen.
Possibly prefix the text with "[e]" as an example to log to the "e"
template for emacs or whatever. maybe it would switch to that
template. Ditto for tags. Basically a free entry format for org items
from a typical free type emacs buffer.
e.g
org>dropped line about org console <C-c C-c>
org-response> [J]ournal updated.
org> [e] <C-c C-c>
org-response> [e]emacs org selected
org>
Plenty of room for more design of course, but just a quick "idea". A bit
thin I grant you, but, well, simple and functional IMO.

Reading what you described made me think of James TD Smith & Carsten's
comments (Date: 25 November 2008 11:46:19 GMT) about a two key
sequence to org-remember. If there were a way to designate a
particular buffer for the prompting of org-remember (can Emacs have
two mini-buffers?) then you could make a frame with two windows. The
top buffer is just an org-remember buffer and hitting C-c C-c would
prompt you for the template to apply. Then all that would need to be
added is to automatically re-enter the org-remember buffer.
Would it cause a stack explosion if the (imaginary) org-remember-after-
filing-hook called org-remember again?
I'll add that for my own purposes (and mainly because my remember-
templates are rather primative) I find that one remember buffer can
add multiple todo entries. I just keep on adding headlines with M-S-
<return> (org-insert-todo-heading) while my brain is hot with ideas
before I hit C-c C-c (org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c). If I think I need to
immediately refile, that's what C-u C-c C-c is for :-)
Question about a console mode: Are you thinking of something like a
shell buffer in emacs, where you have a default directory (org
analogy: org-buffer/headline); access to history with M-p and M-n;
where the buffer grows longer as you enter items. Or are you thinking
that the buffer would be cleared to blank every time you hit C-c C-c
(what I was assuming while writing the above paragraph)
