(Another annoyance I have is accidentally hitting `C-c C-c' to tick a check box and having my in-progress work being moved.) It can help to use the `:immediate-finish' and `:jump-to-captured' settings like so: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp ("n" "Note" entry (file "Notes.org") (file "tpl-note.org") :empty-lines 1 :immediate-finish t :jump-to-captured t) #+END_SRC Stig -- ; GNU Emacs 25.1.1, Org mode version 9.0.5
