Then I go back to Emacs, position the cursor anywhere on the Metaculus section, and press a shortcut. A whole new question is created as a to-do task.
This is an aside, but you can generate org-mode entries from templates from anywhere in Emacs using org capture—you don’t have to position your cursor in the correct section. This is one of my favorite features of org mode.
Yes, indeed. I was about to suggest an edit to the transcript to make that clear. When I created the Keyboard Maestro script, I was still relatively unfamiliar with Org mode so I didn’t make use of org capture. But that’s the proper way to do it.
My spacemacs config file is here. The main Keyboard Maestro macros I use are here. As noted, these macros were created back when I was beginning to use Emacs, so they don’t make use of org capture or other native functionality (including Emacs own internal macros, or the even more powerful elmacro package). I plan to review these files at some point, but not in the immediate future. Happy to answer questions if anything is unclear.

Pablo, is any of your custom Emacs code publicly available?
