Load all deferred packages (use-package)

Load all deferred packages (use-package)

[John Haman]

I use use-package to organize my configuration, and a fair number of packages are deferred from loading. The keyword ":defer N" rather than ":defer t" causes the package to load after N seconds, but it cannot be implied like ":defer t" (I created an issue about that, https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package/issues/1080) 

Does anyone have a snippet that I could run on a timer, say, after 2 mins of idle, that would cause all my deferred packages to be loaded into my emacs session?

Thanks,

Which packages would you load like that and why?
Usually just loading a package does nothing useful, but that's
presumably not the case here, so I wonder what kind of effect you're
really thinking of when you say "load".

Hi, I missed your reply because I don't subscribe, so please keep me in the
TO line. 

 

I would like to load (maybe require is the right term) all of my packages
into my emacs session after a few mins of idle. My rationale is that I would
prefer to not wait for org or ESS to load when I need them, but I'd also
like to not wait at startup either.  Since I posted, I found a snippet on
github that seems to do what I would like. 

 

```

(map-do (lambda (key _) (require key)) use-package-statistics)

```
