* Description

[[http://jblevins.org/projects/deft/][Deft]] is an Emacs mode inspired by =Notational Velocity= for quickly
browsing and creating notes.

** Differences from default

This layer sets the default to use filenames for note titles as well as
=org-mode= for editing. The default extension is still =.txt= though.

* Install

** Layer

To use this contribution add it to your =~/.spacemacs=

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(deft))
#+END_SRC

** Configuration

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

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq deft-directory "~/Dropbox/notes")
#+END_SRC
