Org-mode capture and Evil - go into insert mode automatically

Question

I'm using org-mode capture to create small notes and todos. I'm also using evil-mode.

What I'd love to do is to automatically go into insert-mode when I go into a capture. I've tried adding a hook to org-capture-mode-hook and running (evil-insert) in the hook, but that doesn't work. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks!

Answer 1

(add-hook 'org-capture-mode-hook 'evil-insert-state)

Answer 2

You can try

(evil-set-initial-state 'org-capture-mode 'insert)
