Subject: Bug: Clipboard history is empty when using %^C in capture template [9.0.5 (9.0.5-elpaplus @ /home/mir/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20170210/)]
Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2017 20:46:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k26yurjb.fsf@felesatra.moe> (raw)
Using the %^C expansion in a capture template brings up a minibuffer
prompt to read/select a clipboard value, but there are no values to
select from.
The relevant code is in the function org-capture-fill-template.
("C"
(cond
((= (length clipboards) 1) (insert (car clipboards)))
((> (length clipboards) 1)
(insert (read-string "Clipboard/kill value: "
(car clipboards)
'(clipboards . 1)
(car clipboards))))))
It looks like the intention is to put the list of possible clipboard
values into the minibuffer history for read-string, but in practice I
get an error saying the history is empty.
I suspect that the problem is that clipboard is lexically bound, and
since read-string takes a symbol for the history, it cannot get the
lexical value for clipboards from the symbol argument.
