Sincere thanks for your reply . I got it to work on my Debian machine as
follows.
Ref: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/33650
1) I appended these lines to my ~/.emacs file
(defadvice org-capture-finalize (after delete-capture-frame activate)
"Advise capture-finalize to close the frame if it is the capture
frame"
(if (equal "capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name))
(delete-frame)))
(defadvice org-capture-destroy (after delete-capture-frame activate)
"Advise capture-destroy to close the frame if it is the capture frame"
(if (equal "capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name))
(delete-frame)))
(defun make-capture-frame ()
"Create a new frame and run org-capture."
(interactive)
(make-frame '((name . "capture")))
(select-frame-by-name "capture")
(delete-other-windows)
(org-capture)
)
2) On the debian machine -
System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Add ->
Command : /usr/bin/emacsclient -n -e '(make-capture-frame)'
Shortcut : Ctrl+Alt+C (or any of your favorite key combination)
That's it! Works like a charm for me and now I can capture anything that
flashes across my mind in a fraction of seconds, not disturbing my
original work flow on the PC.
regards,
Jackin
