Eval of expression fails :: #user-error

[benhuxham]

Hi. Using Doom Emacs install. Emacs 29.4, Doom Core v3.0.0-pre, v24.12.0-pre.

I first tried use package install method,

(use-package explain-pause-mode
  :straight (explain-pause-mode :type git :host github :repo "lastquestion/explain-pause-mode")
  :config
  (explain-pause-mode))

but I received an error.

x There was an unexpected runtime error
    Message: use-package: Unrecognized keyword: :straight

I then switched to using the straight.el install method. Seemed to install.

I then tried to access the buffer by evaluating the expression:
(explain-pause-mode)

The buffer said no.
Symbol’s function definition is void: explain-pause-mode

Adding the use-package method to the straight install method produced the same error as just using use-package sans straight.el.

How do I switch to the relevant buffer, as the code copies appears to run/evaluate on install (& obviously on reload SPC h r r)? Or open it?

I'm very sorry, but I haven't maintained or kept this up to date with any recent emacs.

If you would like to get this working and take over this originally reasonably useful tool :) that would be amazing.

I actually don't know how useful this is nowadays, for example, I haven't run Doom Emacs.
