Re: [O] [feature request] org-capture-window-setup to stop capture window taking up whole frame

[Kaushal]

`org-capture` does not take up the full frame for me by default; I just tried that in an emacs -Q session.

Look into `display-buffer-alist` (emacs inbuilt variable) or packages like shackle or popwin for fine control on how you want to create windows when opening buffers.

I do not use shackle for customizing the opening of capture buffers (as it splits windows for me by default) but I do use it to do similar thing for other kinds of buffers.

That would be nice! Eric, thanks for bringing this up.
