I want the best of both worlds: Sorry, can't be done. The customize interface stores the (custom-set-variables ... ) block in the init file. Having more than one such code block might lead to unpredictable Emacs behaviour. Your only two choices are: 1. Use customize. Then your capture templates are stored with your other emacs customisations in your init file (e.g. ~/.emacs, ~/.emacs.d/init.el or whatever). 2. Use setq to define your templates outside of customize. If you choose this, you lose the ability to define templates using customize and save it. You can still however save a template temporarily `C-c C-c'. I hope this answers your query. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
