Indexes your org-agenda files, by default. ```elisp ;; Install Khoj Package from MELPA Stable (use-package khoj :ensure t :pin melpa-stable :bind ("C-c s" . 'khoj) ``` - Note: Install `khoj.el` from MELPA (instead of MELPA Stable) if you installed the pre-release version of khoj - That is, use `:pin melpa` to install khoj.el in above snippet if khoj server was installed with `--pre` flag, i.e `pip install --pre khoj-assistant` - Else use `:pin melpa-stable` to install khoj.el in above snippet if khoj was installed with `pip install khoj-assistant` - This ensures both khoj.el and khoj app are from the same version (git tagged or latest) ### Standard Install Add below snippet to your Emacs config file. Indexes the specified org files, directories. Sets up OpenAI API key for Khoj Chat ```elisp ;; Install Khoj Package from MELPA Stable (use-package khoj :ensure t :pin melpa-stable :bind ("C-c s" . 'khoj) :config (setq khoj-org-directories '("~/docs/org-roam" "~/docs/notes") khoj-org-files '("~/docs/todo.org" "~/docs/work.org") khoj-openai-api-key "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY")) ; required to enable chat ``` ### With [Straight.el](https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el) Add below snippet to your Emacs config file. Indexes the specified org files, directories. Sets up OpenAI API key for Khoj Chat ```elisp ;; Install Khoj Package using Straight.el (use-package khoj :after org :straight (khoj :type git :host github :repo "khoj-ai/khoj" :files (:defaults "src/interface/emacs/khoj.el")) :bind ("C-c s" . 'khoj) :config (setq khoj-org-directories '("~/docs/org-roam" "~/docs/notes") khoj-org-files '("~/docs/todo.org" "~/docs/work.org") khoj-openai-api-key "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY" ; required to enable chat) ``` ## Use ### Search 1. Hit `C-c s s` (or `M-x khoj RET s`) to open khoj search 2. Enter your query in natural language e.g "What is the meaning of life?", "My life goals for 2023" ### Chat 1. Hit `C-c s c` (or `M-x khoj RET c`) to open khoj chat 2. Ask questions in a natural, conversational style E.g "When did I file my taxes last year?" See [Khoj Chat](/#/chat) for more details ### Find Similar Entries This feature finds entries similar to the one you are currently on. 1. Move cursor to the org-mode entry, markdown section or text paragraph you want to find similar entries for 2. Hit `C-c s f` (or `M-x khoj RET f`) to find similar entries ### Advanced Usage - Add [query filters](https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/#query-filters) during search to narrow down results further e.g `What is the meaning of life? -"god" +"none" dt>"last week"` - Use `C-c C-o 2` to open the current result at cursor in its source org file - This calls `M-x org-open-at-point` on the current entry and opens the second link in the entry. - The second link is the entries [org-id](https://orgmode.org/manual/Handling-Links.html#FOOT28), if set, or the heading text. The first link is the line number of the entry in the source file. This link is less robust to file changes. - Note: If you have [speed keys](https://orgmode.org/manual/Speed-Keys.html) enabled, `o 2` will also work ### Khoj Menu ![](./assets/khoj_emacs_menu.png) Hit `C-c s` (or `M-x khoj`) to open the khoj menu above. Then: - Hit `t` until you preferred content type is selected in the khoj menu `Content Type` specifies the content to perform `Search`, `Update` or `Find Similar` actions on - Hit `n` twice and then enter number of results you want to see `Results Count` is used by the `Search` and `Find Similar` actions - Hit `-f u` to `force` update the khoj content index The `Force Update` switch is only used by the `Update` action ## Upgrade ### Upgrade Khoj Backend ```bash pip install --upgrade khoj-assistant ``` ### Upgrade Khoj.el Use your Emacs package manager to upgrade `khoj.el` - For `khoj.el` from MELPA - Method 1 - Run `M-x package-list-packages` to list all packages - Press `U` on `khoj` to mark it for upgrade - Press `x` to execute the marked actions - Method 2 - Run `M-x package-refresh-content` - Run `M-x package-reinstall khoj` - For `khoj.el` from Straight - Run `M-x straight-pull-package khoj`
