How to configure deft for Spacemacs about zetteldeft HOT 5 CLOSED

@mgarort , just enable the deft layer with the proper variables set, i.e. locate dotspacemacs-configuration-layers in your .spacemacs and add (deft :variables deft-zetteldeft t) to the list. That will automatically install deft and zetteldeft and load them in the correct order at startup.

For configuration, set the variables in your dotspacemacs/user-config. For example, look at my configuration here:

https://github.com/brunosmmm/dotfiles/blob/398b842a92bf4a1de1f9e96c982bea9ea6738dc4/dot/dot.spacemacs#L787-L789

It's been a while since I used Spacemacs, but it is where I originally started experimenting and creating Zetteldeft.

With regards to order: I don't think it matters that much. I think it makes sense to first call deft, then zetteldeft. In any case, you do need to start deft by calling it before you can start using the zetteldeft functions (because your files need to be indexed).

The code to configure goes wherever other Spacemacs configuration goes.
As a general tip: I think in the user-config section you can do something like

;; LOAD user-config FROM FILE
(load "~/spacemacs/user-config.el")

And then store all of your configurations in that file.

Maybe @brunosmmm can share his experience with using Zetteldeft in Spacemacs?

Thanks, I've added some notes in the documentation to make it a bit more clear.

Hi,

I have been unable to configure it properly in Spacemacs, and Spacemacs seems to have a lot of issues open and to be in the middle of a change of version so I am not sure anymore if the problem is me or the problem is something else. Therefore I'm trying in Doom.

Thanks.

@mgarort I've just moved to Doom and would like to configure ZD for that, so I would be interested to hear your results.
