More comprehensive sample configuration

Here we include more of what you can configure with Denote (Get started with this sample configuration).

;; Remember that the website version of this manual shows the latest
;; developments, which may not be available in the package you are
;; using.  Instead of copying from the web site, refer to the version
;; of the documentation that comes with your package.  Evaluate:
;;
;;     (info "(denote) Sample configuration")
(use-package denote
  :ensure t
  :hook
  (;; If you use plain text files (.txt), then you want to make the
   ;; Denote links clickable (Org mode and Markdown mode render links
   ;; as buttons right away and provide commands to open them)
   (text-mode . denote-fontify-links-mode)
   ;; Apply colours to Denote names in Dired.  This applies to all
   ;; directories.  Check `denote-dired-directories' for the specific
   ;; directories you may prefer instead.  Then, instead of
   ;; `denote-dired-mode', use `denote-dired-mode-in-directories'.
   (dired-mode . denote-dired-mode))
  :bind
  ;; Denote DOES NOT define any key bindings.  This is for the user to
  ;; decide.  For example:
  ( :map global-map
    ("C-c n n" . denote)
    ("C-c n d" . denote-dired)
    ("C-c n g" . denote-grep)
    ;; If you intend to use Denote with a variety of file types, it is
    ;; easier to bind the link-related commands to the `global-map', as
    ;; shown here.  Otherwise follow the same pattern for `org-mode-map',
    ;; `markdown-mode-map', and/or `text-mode-map'.
    ("C-c n l" . denote-link)
    ("C-c n L" . denote-add-links)
    ("C-c n b" . denote-backlinks)
    ("C-c n q c" . denote-query-contents-link) ; create link that triggers a grep
    ("C-c n q f" . denote-query-filenames-link) ; create link that triggers a dired
    ;; Note that `denote-rename-file' can work from any context, not just
    ;; Dired bufffers.  That is why we bind it here to the `global-map'.
    ("C-c n r" . denote-rename-file)
    ("C-c n R" . denote-rename-file-using-front-matter)

    ;; Key bindings specifically for Dired.
    :map dired-mode-map
    ("C-c C-d C-i" . denote-dired-link-marked-notes)
    ("C-c C-d C-r" . denote-dired-rename-files)
    ("C-c C-d C-k" . denote-dired-rename-marked-files-with-keywords)
    ("C-c C-d C-R" . denote-dired-rename-marked-files-using-front-matter))

  ;; Remember to check the docstring of each of those variables.
