Info menu item is gone?!

#1

In vanilla emacs you can press C-h i m and search for helpful nodes.

This is the most important function - it should be on the first page of the fucking README

Where is it? Why was it taken away?

This is madness

SPC h i J

M-x where-is and M-x describe-key-briefly are useful tools

Thank you, I wish I knew about SPC h i J sooner. It seems that on both Ubuntu and EndeavourOS emacs comes without info pages though:

user-error: Info file ‘org’ does not exist; consider installing it

Do you know by any chance if they should be installed by the system package manager or by doom?

#5

They should be installed by Doom. What is the value of Info-directory-list?

#6

Info-directory-list is:

("/home/user/.config/emacs/.local/straight/build-29.1/use-package/" 
"/home/user/.config/emacs/.local/straight/build-29.1/org-gtd/" 
"/home/user/.config/emacs/.local/straight/build-29.1/org-edna/" 
"/home/user/.config/emacs/.local/straight/build-29.1/org-ql/" 
"/home/user/.config/emacs/.local/straight/build-29.1/org-super-agenda/" 
...
)

I’ve truncated this list - you are right that entries included in this variable do work, for example SPC h i J and use-package does take you correctly to use-package’s Info page. But org-mode for example results in the above error. Is it expected for this list to be incomplete?

#7

It should have an entry for org/. Can you try rm -rf ~/.config/emacs/.local/straight/repos/org && doom sync?
