How to open neovim in org capture?

[aareman]

I want to have a system level keybinding to open a neovim window in org capture with a certain template selected.

I looked through the code of nvim-orgmode a few months ago and wasn't able to figure it out. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thank you 😄

I actually added this for me recently since I needed to capture some stuff on the fly.
I have 2 things:

1. A shell script that I put in the /usr/local/bin with this content:

#!/bin/sh

kitty nvim -c "autocmd BufEnter * only" -c "lua require('orgmode').capture:open_template_by_shortcut('t')"

It opens up kitty terminal window, starts nvim and selects a default capture template by my choice. Then I run this with rofi when needed. Once the capture is finished it closes everything out.

2. A zsh function that I can execute from the terminal:

nt() {
  nvim -c "autocmd BufEnter * only" -c "lua require('orgmode').capture:open_template_by_shortcut('t')"
}

If i'm in the terminal and I need to do something, I just do nt and it sets the capture window. On finish, it just closes everything as in the 1st example.

Hope this helps.
