[O] Defining capture-templates: custom and init file

[Alan E. Davis]

I would like to request advice, on how can I set up so most of my capture templates are loaded from a file (~/org/capture-templates.el in my case) and still retain the ability to define new capture templates on the fly.  I want the best of both worlds:  

   - capture-templates.el is easier for me to tweak by hand, and I can alphabetize the templates in various ways as needed.  

   

   - the capture custom feature is a fantastic way to deine one off templates on the fly.

One imagines there must be a way to do this by loading one or the other of the methods first, perhaps ~/org/capture-templates.el, and then load the custom-file afterwards.

My understanding of the system does not enable me to understand the underlying nuts and bolts of the system well enough to  know if either of these methods will work, or run aground.  

Thank you

Alan Davis
