You can use templates for different types of capture items, and for different target locations.

The following code sets up three capture templates – for todos, media urls and code snippets (lines 4-7).

%? sets the exit point for the template, %^g prompts for a tag, %^{language} prompts for the language of the snippet and the remainder is boilerplate to create an org-mode entry (*) and an...
