The combination of org capture, org-metaleft
(bound to S-LEFT
), and refiling can mess up an org file. Here is an example:
- Start a new heading with quick capture, say
*** new
. This heading is refiled depending on your quick capture template, say** Miscellaneous
. - Press
S-LEFT
twice, which is bound toorg-metaleft
and which I often use to go back a word instead ofM-b
. The heading*** new
becomes* new
and all the next level 2 headings will become children of this new heading. - Refile with
C-c C-w
, say to* Today
. The heading becomes** new
and carries all the children with it to the new location.
The problem with this behavior is that it is completely hidden, unlike in the main buffer where I would see it happening. So I think org-metaleft
should be disabled in org capture.
Why is it enabled, and how to turn it off?
org-mode
and do not anticipate installing it any time soon. That being said, a quick Google search lead me to the variableorg-capture-mode-map
which contains a doc-string: "Keymap fororg-capture-mode
, a minor mode. Use this map to set additional keybindings for when Org-mode is used for a capture buffer." So, perhaps you can just define the key has having anil
value for the function ... See: emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/7546/… You may need to(require 'org-capture)
or useeval-after-load

I manually log my time in/out. For the past 5+ years, I have strictly used a custom/modified version oforg-mode
to keep track of tasks and events, using the same keywords astoodledo.com
, which I sync with using a custom/modified oforg-toodledo.el
. I use a custom/modified version ofcalfw
