[O] org-capture quitting and make-capture-frame

[Tyler Smith]

Hi,

I use org-capture with a new frame, so I can call it quickly when from
the OS (see
http://www.windley.com/archives/2010/12/capture_mode_and_emacs.shtml).

This works well, except that if I quit a capture, the frame is left
hanging. I looked through the code, and this is due to org-capture
calling `(user-error "Abort")` in response to my entering 'q' to
indicate I want to cancel my capture. 

It would be nice to allow for some configuration here. In my case, I
have replaced this line:

    ((equal entry "q")
            (user-error "Abort"))

(source:
http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/tree/lisp/org-capture.el?h=emacs-sync#n632
)

with

    ((equal entry "q")
       (if (equal "capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name))  
           (delete-frame))

That will work for my use case, until org-mode is updated at least.
Would it be possible to do something like this instead:

    ((equal entry "q")
      (funcall org-capture-quite-function))

That would allow you to provide a sensible default, such as '(user-error
"Abort")', while allowing users to tweak this behaviour, as needed for
cleaning up capture frames.

I've pasted the additional functions I'm using below, FYI.

Best,

Tyler

  "Create a new frame and run org-capture."  
  (interactive)  
  (select-frame-set-input-focus

                 (width . 120) 
                 (height . 15))))  
  (setq word-wrap 1)
  (setq truncate-lines nil)
  (org-capture))

      (delete-other-windows)))

    (after delete-capture-frame activate)  
  "Advise capture-destroy to close the frame"
