Deft layer

• Browsing and creating notes with a powerful search function via Deft.
• Integration of org-mode as note editor.
• Configurable list of extensions to recognize as notes.
• Zettelkasten system with zetteldeft

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add deft to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Zetteldeft support is included with the layer. To enable it, set the layer variable deft-zetteldeft to t:

(deft :variables deft-zetteldeft t)

By default deft tries to put notes in ~/.deft but you can change this in your dotspacemacs/user-config function:

(setq deft-directory "~/Dropbox/notes")

By default Deft uses filenames for note titles and org-mode for editing. The default extension for new notes is org. However also md and txt files are recognized as notes. Which extensions are used for notes discovery can be configured in your dotfile:

(setq deft-extensions '("org" "md" "txt"))

Just add or substitute your preferred extension.

Zetteldeft key bindings will appear in a few different places as follows:
