I just tried this snippet and it looked quite different to me, that said I have
tweaked `org-mks' a bit in my config… (I initially found org-capture quite
ugly).

I also really don’t like how `org-mks' so forcefully grabs all keyboard input. I
can see it being nice to jump back to the buffer and see where the resource is
being used, which isn’t really possible using `org-mks'.

All the best,
Timothy
