* 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 =org=. The default
configuration is set to recognize =org=, =md=, and =txt= extensions. If
you prefer that =Deft= recognize other extensions set an alternate
configuration by adding the following in your config file:
#+Begin_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq deft-extensions '("org" "md" "txt"))
#+END_SRC
Just add or substitute your preferred extension.
* Install
** 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.
** Configuration
By default deft tries to put notes in =~/.deft= but you can change
this like so in your =dotspacemacs/user-config= function:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq deft-directory "~/Dropbox/notes")
#+END_SRC
