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

[Xebar Saram]

thx again Alan

i do get an error if i eval (org-capture nil "t")

the error is:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No capture template referred to by \"t\" keys")

  signal(error ("No capture template referred to by \"t\" keys"))

  error("No capture template referred to by \"%s\" keys" "t")

  org-capture-select-template("t")

  org-capture(nil "t")

  eval((org-capture nil "t") nil)

  eval-_expression_((org-capture nil "t") nil)

  call-interactively(eval-_expression_ nil nil)

  command-execute(eval-_expression_)

any ideas?

thx

Z

I don't know how to change this code to not use flet, so I live with the
warning.

- if you evaluate ( M-: ) "(org-capture nil "t")", does it start
  a capture?
- if yes, can you get rid of the flet and just have (org-capture nil
  "t") instead (it should create a frame a split the window in two with
  a capture buffer)
- if it still works like this, then the problem is in the flet, and
  I don't know what to do.
