yes, using org-capture does help a lot and combining this with
emacsclient does give the ability to do command line capturing quite nicely.

I think this is much more convoluted than you need; if you have
org-capture set up appropriately, the following would be equivalent:

Ctrl+Alt+E (emacs), C-c c X "whatever", C-c C-c, C-c C-x !

where X would be the specific capture task to perform (such as t for
todo etc).

I can already do:

: emacsclient -e '(org-capture nil "t")'

to invoke my todo capture template.  I have not yet figured out if one
could automatically specify the text to go with any particular capture
template, however.  A quick look at the code didn't help me.
