The zetteldeft.org file in this repository contains documented code for a set of functions for emacs, which aims to extend the deft package and turn it into a (very very) basic Zettelkasten note-taking system.

The best way to get to know Zetteldeft, is from within Zetteldeft. Get started by cloning the zd-tutorial repository, available at https://github.com/EFLS/zd-tutorial. Bootstrap use-package installation instructions included.

If you’d rather start with an introduction of key concepts and basic functions, check out an introduction here: efls.github.io/zetteldeft.

Documentation, literate code and further technical details can be found in the .org file of this repository, or can be read in a more convenient format over at efls.github.io/zetteldeft/zetteldeft.html.

zetteldeft is available on MELPA. If you use use-package, installing is as easy as

(use-package zetteldeft
  :after deft
  :config
    (zetteldeft-set-classic-keybindings))

Please note that this was originally written for personal use and that I’m far from an emacs lisp expert. That said, contributions and feedback are more than welcome.
