I would like the org capture buffer (which IIUC is in org-capture-mode, a minor mode) to start in insert state; It seems that both the evil-insert-state-modes variable and the evil-set-initial-state function operate over major modes (or at least, when I run org-capture after modifying the former or calling the latter, the buffer that opens up does not start in insert state).
Does anyone ahve any suggestions?
I had a similar problem as I wanted the annotation contents editor of PDF-tools to start in insert mode. For that case a working solution is to add pdf-annot-edit-contents-minor-mode to the list of evil-insert-state-modes using M-x customize-variable. So just add the correct minor-mode to that list.
org-capture.elhas anorg-capture-mode-hook-- so you would just do the standard thing we do for all other hooks. Something like this --(defun my-org-capture-load-fn () [INSERT EVIL STUFF HERE]) (eval-after-load "org-capture" '(progn (add-hook 'org-capture-mode-hook 'my-org-capture-load-fn) ))I've never played with evil-mode, so I cannot help you with the specific line for enabling the feature you seek.(add-hook 'org-capture-mode-hook 'evil-insert-state)seems to work. If you want to write up an answer, I'll accept it.
