blank lines and keystrokes for org remember templates

blank lines and keystrokes for org remember templates

Hi,

1. When I use remember with a template I get a blank line after the text
that I type.

My template looks like this:
(setq org-remember-templates
      '((?l "* TODO %?" "~/Documents/org/life.org" "New Tasks")))

If I write TODO something I get a blank line after it in my org file even
though I didn't put a newline when using remember.

Is this default behavior? Is there a way to change it so that a newline
isn't inserted?

2. How do I bind a keystroke to start remember with one of the
org-remember-templates rather than prompting you for the template name?

Thank you,
Scott

Even stranger is that it *doesn't* put a blank line if you have multiple lines
of text in your remember block.  I'd vote that if the template has no blank
line, the entry never gets a blank line.

The problem is that it is hard to see if a final newline
in a remember buffer is meant to indicate an empty line or not.
I will fix it in the following way:  After exiting the remember buffer,
Org-mode will add a newline *if there is none* and insert the resulting 
string
into the outline tree.  So if your template does end with zero or one 
\n,
there will be no empty line after the entry.  If it ends with \n\n, 
there
will be an empty line.

Thanks - I had this same problem.
