Org-Capture Window Behavior

[Amol Vaidya]

Hello,

I use a widescreen monitor, and when I initiate an org-capture the frame transforms mid-capture as follows:

+---+---+---+---+     +-------+-------+
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | --> |   1   |capture|
+---+---+---+---+     +-------+-------+

I find this behavior disruptive, as I generally want to condense information from multiple sources into a single note. Ideally I'd like all my existing windows to remain open for reference. I would prefer for the capture buffer to respect my display-buffer settings.

From what I’ve gathered, this behavior seems to be caused by the delete-other-windows function in org-capture-place-template. While there are workarounds developed by users, I’d appreciate the developers’ thoughts on potentially changing the default behavior of how org-capture manages windows.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Amol Vaidya
