I'm transitioning from emacs to spacemacs. In emacs I use neotree to have a nice sidebar where I can explore my files. I like it on the right side, so inside my custom-set-variables within my init file is:

'(neo-window-position (quote right))

which works perfectly.

BUT, with spacemacs things are different. I wrote that line inside my dotspacemacs/user-config() and nothing happens, when I hit SPC f t neotree still appears on the left side.

Can you help me to get it shown on the right? It's almost the only thing I need to feel comfortable working with spacemacs.

Thank you so much. :)

  • could it be neo-tree-mode might be loaded after your custom-set-variables command has executed ?? Check your init file and confirm once

  • @ChakravarthyRaghunandan there is no custom-set-variables on spacemacs that I know of. Is it? Where?

  • If there is no custom-set-variables why not add do something like this :- (eval-after-load "neotree" '(neo-window-position (quote right))). If even this does not work, maybe you should try use-package. It has an option to specify commands to load after a package has been loaded (which is what you need to do)

  • Also just to confirm your code works, disable neotree-mode, go to your *scratch* buffer and copy paste '(neo-window-position (quote right)) and execute the command with C-M-x and reload neotree-mode. It should pop up on the right after you do this. PS. I haven't use neotree or spacemacs. but i assume this is how it should work

    Putting (setq neo-window-position 'right) in dotspacemacs/user-config works for me, so I don't know why it doesn't work for you. By the way, the expression '(neo-window-position (quote right)) doesn't do anything if it's not inside of custom-set-variables.

    Can you add more information to your answer? Relevant docstrings and more elaborate answer would flesh out your question considerably.
