This file guides you through a Zettlelkasten setup. You can use Org mode for a Zettlelkasten system with zero additional configuration, if you like. However, I think that you will find it easier if you use the setup outlined in this file, at least.

First, you will need to add this directory to org-agenda-files-text-search-files. (Note that this requires org 9.4 or greater to work properly.) We add to this variable, rather than org-agenda-files, to avoid slowing down regular agenda commands. Do this by executing executing C-c C-c on the following source block: 

(require 'find-lisp)
(mapcar (lambda (elt) (add-to-list 'org-agenda-text-search-extra-files elt))
        (find-lisp-find-files default-directory "\\.org"))

The following code allows you to use id based links. This ensures that your links between things are stable even if you rename files or change headlines. If you already have a files in your agenda this could take some time as the id index is updated. Going forward, the index should be maintained as you add entries, so this should be a one time cost. 

(setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id t)
(setq org-id-extra-files 'org-agenda-text-search-extra-files)
(org-id-update-id-locations)

The one keybinding you need to know to get started, is C-c C-o (or org-open-at-point), to select links to follow.

With this knowledge, you are ready to read on.
