Hi all. anyone using a separate (or pop up style) org capture window on
linux? im looking for tips on how to bind a key that will bring up a new
emacsclient quickly with the capture window open for quick capturing of
info even when not in emacs

best!

Hi. it seems like this :

/usr/bin/emacsclient -c -e '(org-capture)'

kinda works with the most annoying issue is that the window dosent close
after cpature (which is what i want). instead i get a previous buffer in
emacs. any idea how to solve that?

Instead of "-e '(org-capture)'", use that to load a file that does more customization. Re-bind 'C-c C-c' to close frame after invocation. Please post when you have this, I might find it useful. I have similar behavior in the "edit with emacs" web plugin which brings up an emacs frame of an HTML textbox, and then when "C-c C-c" is invoked, closes the frame and re-populates the textbox.

  -k.

I have the following for similar purposes: 

(defadvice org-capture-finalize (after delete-org-capture-frame activate)  
  "Advise org-capture-finalize to close the frame if it is the org-capture frame"  
  (if (equal "org-capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name))  
      (delete-frame)))  

(defun make-orgcapture-frame ()  
  "Create a new frame and run org-capture."  
  (interactive)  
  (make-frame '((name . "org-capture") (width . 80) (height . 16)
                (top . 400) (left . 300)
                (font . "Consolas-14")
                ))
  (select-frame-by-name "org-capture")  
  (org-capture))

From a shell (or hotkey), you'll need to kick off:
     emacsclient -ne '(make-orgcapture-frame)'

You might be able to re-use a bit of what I do chromium and org-capture.

You can add a binding to org-capture-mode-map (tha map that is used to
implement the C-c C-c etc behavior in the capture buffer) to a function
that calls org-capture-finalize and then calls delete-frame.

Something like this added to your .emacs should work (but it's very
lightly tested):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'org-capture)
(defun my-capture-finalize ()
  (interactive)
  (org-capture-finalize)
  (delete-frame))

(add-hook 'org-capture-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (define-key org-capture-mode-map "\C-c\C-x" (function my-capture-finalize))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
