I've just had quite a bit of trouble setting up org capture protocol handling with the Chromium web browser.
Using the Javascript function encodeURIComponent() replaces slashes with a %2F, as expected; the problem is then that xdg-open fails to open URIs containing %2F. Eventually I realised that xdg-open *can* accept a %2F, but *only* if it comes after a "?" in the URI. So, as an ugly hack, I set the identifying character for the org-capture template that handles my bookmarks to be a "?"; this way, any occurrence of %2F will come after a "?", so xdg-open won't complain! So the bookmarklet (attached to the F4 key in chromium, using the "yakshave" extension" looks like this: yak.bindings.add({ '<f4>': { onkeydown: function(event) { eval('location.href="org-protocol:/capture:/?/" + encodeURIComponent(location.href) + "/" + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + "/" + encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection());'); } } }); Of course this is basically a horrible hack; but it might help some of you out very slightly! -- Edward Lilley <ejlil...@gmail.com> http://www.ugnus.uk.eu.org/~edward/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
