Samuel, in your case, it is your requirement to have non-distracting
single-click capture.
I admit that the feature is not implemented in browser add-ons.
A workaround is to define 2 capture template: for prose text and for
code. Browser extension should not add template=x query parameter to
org-protocol URI.
Extension may determine if the captured text pre-formatting, however
there are some complications. Besides <pre> and <code> tags, there may
be <div> and <span> elements with white-space: pre-wrap CSS property and
similar. Selection may consist of several regions, each one with mix of
regular and pre-formatted text.
Actually it is possible to convert selected text to Org markup. use
%(insert (shell-command-to-string "xclip -t text/html -o | pandoc
-f html -t org -"))
in your capture template. Possible caveats: headers, especially <h1> may
give undesired effect.
