+#+TITLE: :config default
+
+This module provides a set of reasonable defaults, including:
+
++ A Spacemacs-esque keybinding scheme
++ Extra Ex commands for evil-mode users
++ A yasnippet snippets library tailored to Doom emacs
++ A configuration for (almost) universally repeating searches with =;= and =,=
+
+#+begin_quote
+The defaults module is intended as a "reasonable-defaults" module, but also as a
+reference for your own private modules. You'll find [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs-private][my private module in a
+separate repo]].
+
+Refer to the [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/wiki/Customization][Customization page]] on the wiki for details on starting your own
+private module.

+* Install
+This module has no external dependencies.
+
+* Configuration
+** Using another snippets library
+Don't want to use provided one? Then add this to your private module,
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+;; in config/$USER/packages.el
+(package! emacs-snippets :ignore t)
+
+;; in config/$USER/config.el
+(def-package-hook! emacs-snippets :disabled t)
+(after! yasnippet
+  (push "~/path/to/my/private/snippets" yas-snippet-dirs))
+#+END_SRC
+
+** I'm not an evil user...
+That's fine. All evil configuration is ignored if =:feature evil= is disabled.
