As mentioned in the related answer, the red dot in the fringe signifies a bookmark. The OP tried to suppress it by setting org-capture-bookmark
to nil, but that does not work: org-refile
uses a bookmark, but it is a different bookmark.
By extension, one could imagine that there should be a variable org-refile-bookmark
that could be set to nil to suppress the org-refile
bookmark, but there isn't one: probably an error of omission.
However, the bookmarks that Org mode uses are stored in a different variable org-bookmark-names-plist
. This is a plist as its name implies with the default value (:last-capture "org-capture-last-stored" :last-refile "org-refile-last-stored" :last-capture-marker "org-capture-last-stored-marker")
.
This variable can be customized (do C-h v org-bookmark-names-plist
and click on the Customize
link) to eliminate whichever bookmark(s) one does not care about by clicking on the DEL
button(s). If I delete the :last-refile
entry (and restart emacs), then the org-refile
bookmark is not set for me. Restarting seems necessary only in the sense that the red dot in the fringe does not seem to go away otherwise, even though the bookmark is not set (although there might be a simpler way to reset the fringe).
If you don't want any bookmarks, you can delete the other entries in the customization buffer as well, then hit Apply and Save
and restart Emacs. You will never see these bookmarks again.
(setq org-capture-bookmark nil)
(manual) in my Emacs conf file doesn't work. I still get the red dot.org-refile-bookmark
variable to set: not sure why that is. I'll provide an answer that seems to work for me.
