Subject: [Question] use-package's :init or :config for enabling modes
Date: Sun, 19 May 2024 12:38:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zfslya6d.fsf@rodrigomorales.site> (raw)


I emptied =~/.config/emacs/init.el= file and I inserted the following sexp and launched Emacs. =vertico-mode= was enabled.

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(use-package vertico

  :config (vertico-mode))
#+END_SRC

I emptied =~/.config/emacs/init.el= again and I inserted the following sexp and launched Emacs. =vertico-mode= was enabled.

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(use-package vertico

  :init (vertico-mode))
#+END_SRC

As shown above, whether we use =:init= or =:config= both can be used for enabling a mode. So my question is: What's the difference between using =:config= and =:init= for enabling a mode that is defined by a package.

GNU Emacs 29.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.41, cairo version 1.18.0)
