• add-hook!
• remove-hook!

This appendix serves as a reference on how to use Doom Emacs' standard library. It is integrated into Helpful, in Doom.

add-hook!

;; With only one hook and one function, this is identical to `add-hook'. In that
;; case, use that instead.
(add-hook! 'some-mode-hook 'enable-something)

;; Adding many-to-many functions to hooks
(add-hook! some-mode '(enable-something and-another))
(add-hook! '(one-mode-hook second-mode-hook) 'enable-something)
(add-hook! (one-mode second-mode) 'enable-something)

;; Appending and local hooks
(add-hook! :append (one-mode second-mode) 'enable-something)
(add-hook! :local (one-mode second-mode) 'enable-something)

;; With arbitrary forms
(add-hook! (one-mode second-mode) (setq v 5) (setq a 2))
(add-hook! :append :local (one-mode second-mode) (setq v 5) (setq a 2))

;; Inline named hook functions
(add-hook! '(one-mode-hook second-mode-hook)
  (defun do-something ()
    ...)
  (defun do-another-thing ()
    ...))

remove-hook!

;; With only one hook and one function, this is identical to `add-hook'. In that
;; case, use that instead.
(remove-hook! 'some-mode-hook 'enable-something)

;; Adding many-to-many functions to hooks
(remove-hook! some-mode '(enable-something and-another))
(remove-hook! '(one-mode-hook second-mode-hook) 'enable-something)
(remove-hook! (one-mode second-mode) 'enable-something)

;; Appending and local hooks
(remove-hook! :append (one-mode second-mode) 'enable-something)
(remove-hook! :local (one-mode second-mode) 'enable-something)

;; With arbitrary forms
(remove-hook! (one-mode second-mode) (setq v 5) (setq a 2))
