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
(defun make-capture-frame ()
"Create a new frame and run org-capture."
(interactive)
(select-frame-set-input-focus
(make-frame '((name . "capture")
(width . 120)
(height . 15))))
(setq word-wrap 1)
(setq truncate-lines nil)
(org-capture))

(after supress-window-splitting activate)
"Delete the extra window if we're in a capture frame"

(delete-other-windows)))
(defadvice org-capture-destroy
(after delete-capture-frame activate)
"Advise capture-destroy to close the frame"
(if (equal "capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name))
(delete-frame)))
(defadvice org-capture-finalize
(after delete-capture-frame activate)
