2.1 Layer
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.
2.2 Configuration
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.
