Non-stop capture?

Non-stop capture?

[Mark S]

Hello!

I have the emacs org-protocol setup to capture with a default template.  
But I still have to C-c C-c and then move back to the browser. Is there a  
way to make it so that as text is captured it is automatically and  
continuously sent to the capture location without interruption?

Thanks!
Mark

Hello,

Not sure, if I understand correctly.
As far as I know, capture does not set up a seperate buffer (at least 
with recent versions of org). What you see, is just the destination 
buffer narrowed down to a single entry. Therefore your input is never 
sent to the destination buffer, because you already type it there ...

,----[ C-h v org-capture-templates RET ]

Isnt that for "capturing" things like clipboard text?

Hi Jambunathan,

Thanks for pointing out :immediate-finish ! That had eluded my attention.

With :immediate-finish setting, org-mode still grabs the focus away from  
the browser. So I still have to alt-tab back to the browser. I would  
really like an uninterrupted web-clipping experience. Also, there is a  
strange message in the emacs status line on the bottom:

    Org-mode not loaded.

I don't get this, since clearly org-mode *is* loaded.

Thanks!
Mark

Note: Using capture with win xp, Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600),
org-mode 7.5, and Opera 11.01

This message is indeed misleading.   I changed it to "Item captured" (or
"remembered" when the user is still using remember.)

Thanks,
