8.3 Using

ORG-CAPTURE

Display the capture templates menu

~C-c c: (org-capture)~

If you have templates defined, it offers these templates for selection; otherwise, use a new Org outline node as the default template. It inserts the template into the target file and switches to an indirect buffer narrowed to this new node. You may then insert the information you want.

You can also call ‘capture’ from the agenda

k c

Any timestamps inserted by the selected capture template defaults to the date at point in the agenda

ORG-CAPTURE-FINALIZE

Resume your work

~[C-u] C-c C-c: (org-capture-finalize)~

• Return to the window configuration before the capture process and resume your work.
• When called with a prefix argument, finalize and then jump to the captured item.

ORG-CAPTURE-REFILE

Refile the note to an appropriate place

~C-c C-w: (org-capture-refile)~

This is a normal refiling command that will be executed; ‘point’’s position is important. Make sure ‘point’ is on the appropriate parent node. See (org)Refile and Copy.

Any prefix argument given to this command is passed on to the org-refile command.

ORG-CAPTURE-KILL

Abort

~C-c C-k: (org-capture-kill)~

Abort the capture procedure and return to the previous state.
