• Introduction Orca is an ORg CApture list of recipes; mainly for capturing from a browser.

The more this package is configured, the less refiling you'll do on your captures: they will go directly to where they belong.

Here is my example list of configurations:

• Capture URL matching https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs to =emacs.org:Reddit=
• Capture URL matching https://emacs.stackexchange.com/ to =emacs.org:Questions=
• If the current buffer is e.g. =foo.org= and it has a =* Tasks= heading, capture to =foo.org:Tasks=
• If nothing else matches, capture to =ent.org:Articles=.

The package needs =ripgrep= to be able to detect already-captured links, but also works without.

• Configuration Just requiring the package, only the "capture to current buffer" method will work, since no file paths are recognized: #+begin_src elisp (require 'orca) #+end_src

Customize the file paths to your liking using this template: #+begin_src elisp (setq orca-handler-list '((orca-handler-match-url "https://www.reddit.com/emacs/" "~/Dropbox/org/wiki/emacs.org" "Reddit") (orca-handler-match-url "https://emacs.stackexchange.com/" "~/Dropbox/org/wiki/emacs.org" "\* Questions") (orca-handler-current-buffer "\* Tasks") (orca-handler-file "~/Dropbox/org/ent.org" "\* Articles"))) #+end_src

It's also possible to customize interactively via ~M-x~ =customize-group= ~RET~ =orca= ~RET~.
