Doom Emacs: org-present is Actually org-tree-slide

Confused moment: Doom Emacs org +present module doesn’t use the org-present package. It uses org-tree-slide-mode instead.

The Confusion

Saw the +present flag in Doom’s org module config. Assumed it would use the org-present package. Nope!

What It Actually Uses

Doom’s presentation mode is org-tree-slide-mode.

Activate:

SPC t p
# or
M-x org-tree-slide-mode

Navigate:

Ctrl + Left/Right arrows to slide between headings

Difference

org-present:

• Minimal, simple
• Full-screen slides
• Basic transitions

org-tree-slide-mode:

• More features
• Three different slide styles
• Better integration with Doom

Why Doom Uses org-tree-slide

Makes sense for Doom’s workflow:

• Works better with evil mode
• More customizable
• Plays nice with Doom’s keybindings

Quick Demo

Any org file with headings becomes a presentation:

* First Slide
Content here

* Second Slide
More content

** Sub-heading
This becomes a nested slide

Hit SPC t p and you’re presenting.

That’s it. Just a naming gotcha I ran into.
