Calling Emacs client with only the Org-capture window

Calling Emacs client with only the Org-capture window

Hello,


I would like to add a keyboard shortcut, to my desktop environment, that
open an Emacsclient to do a capture. But in this frame, I would like to
see only the capture window, starting with the template selection.

If I associate my keyboard shortcut to:
emacsclient -c -e "(org-capture)"

The new frame is split in 2 windows. And "(org-capture)" function have
no parameter to make it's windows the only one of the frame.

Do you have any idea ?



Best regards

Hello, thank you very much. I will take a look soon.

With display-buffer-alist, can I modify the behavior of org-capture only
when I call it with my desktop shortcut ? Because when I call it from
Emacs, I want to keep the same behavior as the default one.

you can use a non-default name for the
frame and match on this.

Till now I use the default name:

${EMACSCLIENT}  -s ${EMACS_SERVER_NAME:-default} --alternate-editor ''  -F '((name . "*Capture*") (background-color . "lemon chiffon") (alpha-background . 100) )' -c  --eval '(org-capture)'

since so far I didn't grok how to use
display-buffer-alist.
