Well, save-excursion does restore the current buffer but is not switching to it. Executing ,---- | (progn | (save-excursion | (org-capture-goto-last-stored)) | (princ (current-buffer))) `---- in *scratch* tells me that the current-buffer after the excursion is *scratch*. What you are looking for is saving and restoring the windows configuration (visible buffers in a frame). C-h f save-window-excursion RET This should do the trick: ,---- | (progn | (save-excursion | (save-window-excursion | (org-capture-goto-last-stored)))) `---- Best, -- David -- OpenPGP... 0x99ADB83B5A4478E6 Jabber.... dmj...@jabber.org Email..... dm...@ictsoc.de
