I love #orgmode, but there is an idiosyncrasy in org-capture's that seems atrocious to me. Whenever I go to capture a note, the capture buffer deletes all windows that are open except one, and splits it so only that window and the org-capture window are visible. As far as I can tell this is the behavior regardless of what your settings for display-buffer are.
This seems to be because instead of respecting display-buffer settings it uses delete-other-windows to ignore them instead. I can advise it to ignore delete-other-windows, which is better, but it still undoes any changes I make to my window layout while the org-capture buffer is open. Secondly, it also doesn't restore #EXWM windows properly. I cannot fathom why the maintainers would ignore a user's display-buffer preferences.
This is bad enough that I'm thinking about abandoning org-roam, (and probably any other org-capture based workflows). I carefully curate my window layout so that I have the information needed available to me. Org-capture decides that it knows better, and leaves me with a highly inefficient workflow for accessing the information I need to make my note. I just don't understand the rationale here.
If anyone knows a workaround to this insanity, please let me know.
