## Description

[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`

```elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(deft))
```

### Configuration

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

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