I couldn't find any documentation on how to do it. Here's the code I modified from an answer to a slightly different question.
;; start the clock if there is a STARTED todo tag is in your remember template (add-hook 'org-remember-before-finalize-hook 'my-start-clock-if-needed) (defun my-start-clock-if-needed () (save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (when (re-search-forward "* STARTED" nil t) (org-clock-in)))) ;; an example remember template (setq org-remember-templates '(("Task" ?t "* %^{Task status|TODO|STARTED|SUBTASK} %^{Brief Description} %^G\n %^{subject}p %^{other-subjects}p %^{sub-subjects}p %^{keywords}p %?\nCalled from: %a\nAdded: %U " "~/notes/notes-log-090410.org")) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
