Thank you! My plan is to eventually cover more topics related to Org, but I have trouble finding time for them right now (my themes, which were recently added to core Emacs, take up most of my time).
Thank you for this very good explanation - I was able to follow all the instructions and to develop a deeper understanding of the underlying structures of org-capture. Pretty cool.
You are welcome! Yes, I will make sure to make them larger next time. I suspect the problem is not just about the font size, but also the font family. Will use something with taller glyphs.
This is an extension to the Ivy completion framework. The package is called "ivy-posframe". You can check my dotemacs for the configurations I have about it: protesilaos.com/dotemacs. Also, I recently did a video with tips and tricks for effective use of Ivy: ua-cam.com/video/QcPenVmmQyM/v-deo.html
I had my eye on your scarf. It's not, by any chance, from a certain Cambridge (England) college is it? Also... that light blue box in your =modeline= that highlights what you just typed, that's very helpful for these sorts of videos, and I am petty sure I learned a couple of new key-chords from this video too. You have yourself another subscriber, FWIW.
@Auntie Carol Thanks! The scarf is a commercial one I bought a while ago. The modeline indicator is produced by the `keycast' package. The theme, which renders `keycast' in blue colours is my `modus-vivendi-theme' (part of the "Modus themes" project).
@@protesilaos Thank you! And also for the shameless promotion of your themes :-) Your /Tempus Day/ is eerily similar to that which I made for myself for TeXstudio a few years ago.
@@auntiecarol You are welcome! The Tempus Day colours have a natural feel about them. Plus, they look a bit like the excellent Solarized theme. I will port them to Emacs at some point, though not anytime soon.
Hello! I am using the 'display-buffer-alist'. Here is the minimum you need: (setq display-buffer-alist '(("\\*Org Select\\*" (display-buffer-in-side-window) (dedicated . t) (side . right) (slot . 0)))) You can find my actual configurations in my dotemacs.

Dear Prot, I have one question regarding capturing from mail. I am trying to capture inside message-mode the name of the recipient and, after reading your webpage. I show that you have something that I would like to use: ("r" "Reply to an email" entry (file+headline "tasks.org" "Mail correspondence") "* TODO [#B] %:subject SCHEDULED: %t :PROPERTIES: :CONTEXT: %a :END:
%i %?") However, when I am in message-mode and try to capture it, the subject does not appear.
@Domingo Gómez Maybe you need to specify the context for this template. I tried this: (setq org-capture-templates-contexts '(("r" ((in-mode . "gnus-article-mode") (in-mode . "message-mode") ; Work here as well (in-mode . "gnus-summary-mode"))))) And then evaluated the entire `use-package org-capture' declaration that I have (putting the point right outside the last parenthesis and typing `C-x C-e'). The subject is now displayed as expected when I call `org-capture' from inside the message-mode buffer and select the template referenced by `r'.
Have you heard about doct? github.com/progfolio/doct I started using it after I learned about capture templates from this video a few months ago and it's a bit easier to read / write them with the assoc-list style of configuration. Thanks for these videos and your extraordinarily well-documented dotfiles!
You are actually goated, thank you for this!!
You are the best orgmode teacher
Thank you! My plan is to eventually cover more topics related to Org, but I have trouble finding time for them right now (my themes, which were recently added to core Emacs, take up most of my time).
A very good introduction to the many options of org-capture. Very well done.
Thanks for watching!
Very good introduction! I like that you went from something basic to pretty complex, showing what was possible along the way. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thanks to you, I am able to understand org-capture. Till now, I wasn't able using the C-h v org-capture-templates documentation
Brilliant introduction video! Thank you. I'm going to start looking through your other videos now (new to emacs)
Thanks! Some of my other Emacs videos assume some prior knowledge, though I generally try to keep it within everyone's reach.
Amazing! It's one of the best videos on youtube :D
Thank you!
Excellent video, thank you very much. Love the style you present ideas. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Great introduction, thanks a lot!
You are welcome!
this video was excellent, very easy to follow! How do you get the prompt to come up in a popup window rather than the minibuffer, though?
Thank you for this very good explanation - I was able to follow all the instructions and to develop a deeper understanding of the underlying structures of org-capture. Pretty cool.
You are welcome!
Thanks! It really helped a lot for a newbie like me
@jokmli You are welcome!
Another great presentation :) Thanks
You are welcome!
This is perfect!
Thanks for the video. How do you configure your modeline to show they keys you type, and the resulting command?
This is done by a package called `keycast'. You can find my configs for it in my dotemacs: protesilaos.com/dotemacs
@@protesilaos Thanks, Prot!
@@vychan3708 You are welcome!
Thanks for the very clear and helpful explanantions, Protesilaos. Would it be possible for you to use a slightly larger font for your presentations?
You are welcome! Yes, I will make sure to make them larger next time. I suspect the problem is not just about the font size, but also the font family. Will use something with taller glyphs.
Hi, what is the smaller window in the center that pops up and how do you get that working in emacs?

How did you get your org-capture buffer on the right?
Hello! I am using the 'display-buffer-alist'. Here is the minimum you need:
(setq display-buffer-alist
'(("\\*Org Select\\*"
