 # Advanced Usage
 ## Configuration File
-`jrnl` has a wide variety of options that can be customized through the config file,
+You can configure the way jrnl behaves in a configuration file. By
-including templates, formats, multiple journals, and more. See
+default, this is `~/.config/jrnl/jrnl.yaml`. If you have the `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`
-the [configuration file reference](./reference-config-file.md) for details
+variable set, the configuration file will be saved as
-or read on for some common use cases.
+`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jrnl/jrnl.yaml`.
-### Multiple journal files
+!!! note
    On Windows, the configuration file is typically found at `%USERPROFILE%\.config\jrnl\jrnl.yaml`.
 The configuration file is a YAML file with the following options
 and can be edited with a plain text editor.
 !!! note
    Backup your journal and config file before editing. Changes to the config file
    can have destructive effects on your journal!
 - `journals`
    paths to your journal files
 - `editor`
    if set, executes this command to launch an external editor for
    writing your entries, e.g. `vim`. Some editors require special
    options to work properly, see `FAQ <recipes>` for details.
 - `encrypt`
    if `true`, encrypts your journal using AES.
 - `tagsymbols`
    Symbols to be interpreted as tags. (See note below)
 - `default_hour` and `default_minute`
    if you supply a date, such as `last thursday`, but no specific
    time, the entry will be created at this time
 - `timeformat`
    how to format the timestamps in your journal, see the [python docs](http://docs.python.org/library/time.html#time.strftime) for reference
 - `highlight`
    if `true`, tags will be highlighted in cyan.
 - `linewrap`
    controls the width of the output. Set to `false` if you don't want to wrap long lines.
 - `colors`
    dictionary that controls the colors used to display journal entries. It has four subkeys, which are: `body`, `date`, `tags`, and `title`. Current valid values are: `BLACK`, `RED`, `GREEN`, `YELLOW`, `BLUE`, `MAGENTA`, `CYAN`, `WHITE`, and `NONE`. `colorama.Fore` is used for colorization, and you can find the [docs here](https://github.com/tartley/colorama#colored-output). To disable colored output, set the value to `NONE`. If you set the value of any color subkey to an invalid color, no color will be used.
 - `display_format`
    specifies formatter to use, formatters available are:
    `boxed`, `fancy`, `json`, `markdown`, `md`, `tags`, `text`, `txt`, `xml`, or `yaml`.
 !!! note
    Although it seems intuitive to use the `#`
    character for tags, there's a drawback: on most shells, this is
    interpreted as a meta-character starting a comment. This means that if
    you type
    > `jrnl Implemented endless scrolling on the #frontend of our website.`
    your bash will chop off everything after the `#` before passing it to
      `jrnl`. To avoid this, wrap your input into quotation marks like
      this:
    > `jrnl "Implemented endless scrolling on the #frontend of our website."`
  Or use the built-in prompt or an external editor to compose your

 # External editors
 Configure your preferred external editor by updating the `editor` option
 in your [configuration file](./reference-config-file.md#editor). If your editor is not 
 in your operating system's `PATH` environment variable, then you will have to 
 enter the full path of your editor.
 Once it's configured, you can create an entry as a new document in your editor using the `jrnl` 
 command by itself:
 ``` text
 jrnl
 ```
 You can specify the time and title of the entry as usual on the first line of the document. 
 If you want, you can skip the editor by including a quick entry with the `jrnl` command:
 ``` text
 jrnl yesterday: All my troubles seemed so far away.
 ```
 If you want to start the entry on the command line and continue writing in your chosen editor, 
 use the `--edit` flag. For example:
 ``` text
 jrnl yesterday: All my troubles seemed so far away. --edit
 ```
 !!! note
    To save and log any entry edits, save and close the file.
 All editors must be [blocking processes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_(computing)) to work with jrnl. Some editors, such as [micro](https://micro-editor.github.io/), are blocking by default, though others can be made to block with additional arguments, such as many of those documented below. If jrnl opens your editor but finishes running immediately, then your editor is not a blocking process, and you may be able to correct that with one of the suggestions below.
 Please see [this section](./privacy-and-security.md#editor-history) about how
 your editor might leak sensitive information and how to mitigate that risk.
 ## Sublime Text
 To use [Sublime Text](https://www.sublimetext.com/), install the command line
 tools for Sublime Text and configure your `jrnl.yaml` like this:
 ```yaml
 editor: "subl -w"
 ```
 Note the `-w` flag to make sure `jrnl` waits for Sublime Text to close the
 file before writing into the journal.
 ## Visual Studio Code
 [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) also requires a flag
 that tells the process to wait until the file is closed before exiting:
 ```yaml
 editor: "code --wait"
 ```
 On Windows, `code` is not added to the path by default, so you'll need to
 enter the full path to your `code.exe` file, or add it to the `PATH` variable.
 ## MacVim
 Also similar to Sublime Text, MacVim must be started with a flag that tells
 the the process to wait until the file is closed before passing control
 back to journal. In the case of MacVim, this is `-f`:
 ```yaml
 editor: "mvim -f"
 ```
 ## Vim/Neovim
 To use any of the Vim derivatives as editor in Linux, simply set the `editor`
 to the executable:
 ```yaml
 editor: "vim"
 # or
 editor: "nvim"
 ```
 ## iA Writer
 On OS X, you can use the fabulous [iA
 Writer](http://www.iawriter.com/mac) to write entries. Configure your
 `jrnl.yaml` like this:
 ```yaml
 editor: "open -b pro.writer.mac -Wn"
 ```
 What does this do? `open -b ...` opens a file using the application
 identified by the bundle identifier (a unique string for every app out
 there). `-Wn` tells the application to wait until it's closed before
 passing back control, and to use a new instance of the application.
 If the `pro.writer.mac` bundle identifier is not found on your system,
 you can find the right string to use by inspecting iA Writer's
 `Info.plist` file in your shell:
 ```sh
 grep -A 1 CFBundleIdentifier /Applications/iA\ Writer.app/Contents/Info.plist
 ```
 ## Notepad++ on Windows
 To set [Notepad++](http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) as your editor, edit
 the `jrnl` config file (`jrnl.yaml`) like this:
 ```yaml
 editor: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe -multiInst -nosession"
 ```
 The double backslashes are needed so `jrnl` can read the file path
 correctly. The `-multiInst -nosession` options will cause `jrnl` to open
 its own Notepad++ window.
 ## emacs
 To use `emacs` as your editor, edit the `jrnl` config file (`jrnl.yaml`) like this:
 ```yaml
 editor: emacsclient -a "" -c
 ```
 When you're done editing the message, save and `C-x #` to close the buffer and stop the emacsclient process.
 ## Other editors
 If you're using another editor and would like to share, feel free to [contribute documentation](./contributing.md#editing-documentation) on it.

 passwords can be easily circumvented by someone with basic security skills
 to access to your encrypted `jrnl` file.
 ## Plausible deniability
 You may be able to hide the contents of your journal behind a layer of encryption,
 but if someone has access to your configuration file, then they can figure out that
 you have a journal, where that journal file is, and when you last edited it.
 With a sufficient power imbalance, someone may be able to force you to unencrypt
 it through non-technical means.
 ## Spying
 While `jrnl` can protect against unauthorized access to your journal entries while
 it isn't open, it cannot protect you against an unsafe computer/location.
 For example:
 - Someone installs a keylogger, tracking what you type into your journal.
 - Someone watches your screen while you write your entry.
 - Someone installs a backdoor into `jrnl` or poisons your journal into revealing your entries.
 ## Saved Passwords
 When creating an encrypted journal, you'll be prompted as to whether or not you
 want to "store the password in your keychain." This keychain is accessed using
 the [Python keyring library](https://pypi.org/project/keyring/), which has different
 behavior depending on your operating system.
 In Windows, the keychain is the Windows Credential Manager (WCM), which can't be locked

 in the [Settings editor](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_settings-editor).
 !!! note
    On Windows, the history location is typically found at
    `%APPDATA%\Code\User\History`.
 Visual Studio Code also creates a copy of all unsaved files that are open.
 It stores these copies in a backup location that's automatically cleaned when
 you save the file. However, if your computer shuts off before you save the file,
 or the Visual Studio Code process stops unexpectedly, then an unencrypted
 temporary file may remain on your disk. You can manually delete these files
 from the backup location.
 !!! note
    On Windows, the backup location is typically found at
    `%APPDATA%\Code\Backups`.
 ### Vim
 Vim stores progress data in a so called Viminfo file located at `~/.viminfo`
 which contains all sorts of user data including command line history, search
 string history, search/substitute patterns, contents of register etc. Also to
 be able to recover opened files after an unexpected application close Vim uses
 swap files.
 These options as well as other leaky features can be disabled by setting the
 `editor` key in the Jrnl settings like this:
 ``` yaml
 editor: "vim -c 'set viminfo= noswapfile noundofile nobackup nowritebackup noshelltemp history=0 nomodeline secure'"
 ```
 To disable all plugins and custom configurations and start Vim with the default
 configuration `-u NONE` can be passed on the command line as well. This will
 ensure that any rogue plugins or other difficult to catch information leaks are
 eliminated. The downside to this is that the editor experience will decrease
 quite a bit.
 To instead let Vim automatically detect when a Jrnl file is being edited an
 autocommand can be used. Place this in your `~/.vimrc`:
 ``` vim
 autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPre *.jrnl setlocal viminfo= noswapfile noundofile nobackup nowritebackup noshelltemp history=0 nomodeline secure
 ```
 !!! note
    If you're using a [template](reference-config-file.md#template), you will
    have to use the template's file extension instead of `.jrnl`.
 See `:h <option>` in Vim for more information about the options mentioned.
 ### Neovim
 Neovim strives to be mostly compatible with Vim and has therefore similar
 functionality as Vim. One difference in Neovim is that the Viminfo file is
 instead called the ShaDa ("shared data") file which resides in
 `~/.local/state/nvim` (`~/.local/share/nvim` pre Neovim v0.8.0). The ShaDa file
 can be disabled in the same way as for Vim.
 ``` yaml
 editor: "nvim -c 'set shada= noswapfile noundofile nobackup nowritebackup noshelltemp history=0 nomodeline secure'"
 ```
 `-u NONE` can be passed here as well to start a session with the default configs.
 As for Vim above we can create an autocommand in Vimscript:
 ``` vim
 autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPre *.jrnl setlocal shada= noswapfile noundofile nobackup nowritebackup noshelltemp history=0 nomodeline secure
 ```
 or the same but in Lua:
 ``` lua
 vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd( {"BufNewFile","BufReadPre" }, {
  group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("PrivateJrnl", {}),
  pattern = "*.jrnl",
  callback = function()
    vim.o.shada = ""
    vim.o.swapfile = false
    vim.o.undofile = false
    vim.o.backup = false
    vim.o.writebackup = false
    vim.o.shelltemp = false
    vim.o.history = 0
    vim.o.modeline = false
    vim.o.secure = true
  end,
 })
 ```
 !!! note
    If you're using a [template](reference-config-file.md#template), you will
    have to use the template's file extension instead of `.jrnl`.
 Please see `:h <option>` in Neovim for more information about the options mentioned.

-## Using Templates
+### Using templates
 !!! note
    Templates require an [external editor](./advanced.md) be configured.
-Templates are text files that are used for creating structured journals.
+A template is a code snippet that makes it easier to use repeated text
-There are three ways you can use templates:
+each time a new journal entry is started. There are two ways you can utilize
 templates in your entries.
-### 1. Use the `--template` command line argument and the default $XDG_DATA_HOME/jrnl/templates directory
+#### 1. Command line arguments
-`$XDG_DATA_HOME/jrnl/templates` is created by default to store your templates! Create a template (like `default.md`) in this directory and pass `--template FILE_IN_DIR`.
+If you had a `template.txt` file with the following contents:
 ```sh
 jrnl --template default.md
 ```
 ### 2. Use the `--template` command line argument with a local / absolute path
 You can create a template file with any text. Here is an example:
 ```sh
 # /tmp/template.txt
 My Personal Journal
 Title:
 Body:
 ```
-Then, pass the absolute or relative path to the template file as an argument, and your external

 jrnl -1 --edit          # Opens the most recent entry in the editor
 ```
-### 3. Set a default template file in `jrnl.yaml`
+#### 2. Include the template file in `jrnl.yaml`
-If you want a template by default, change the value of `template` in the [config file](./reference-config-file.md)

 ## External editors
-## Jump to end of buffer (with vi)
+Configure your preferred external editor by updating the `editor` option
 in your `jrnl.yaml` file. (See [advanced usage](./advanced.md) for details).
-To cause vi to jump to the end of the last line of the entry you edit, in your config file set:
+!!! note
    To save and log any entry edits, save and close the file.
 If your editor is not in your operating system's `PATH` environment variable,
 then you will have to enter in the full path of your editor.
 ### Sublime Text
 To use [Sublime Text](https://www.sublimetext.com/), install the command line
 tools for Sublime Text and configure your `jrnl.yaml` like this:
 ```yaml
-editor: vi + -c "call cursor('.',strwidth(getline('.')))"
+editor: "subl -w"
 ```
 Note the `-w` flag to make sure `jrnl` waits for Sublime Text to close the
 file before writing into the journal.
 ### Visual Studio Code
 [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) also requires a flag
 that tells the process to wait until the file is closed before exiting:
 ```yaml
 editor: "code --wait"
 ```
 On Windows, `code` is not added to the path by default, so you'll need to
 enter the full path to your `code.exe` file, or add it to the `PATH` variable.
 ### MacVim
 Also similar to Sublime Text, MacVim must be started with a flag that tells
 the the process to wait until the file is closed before passing control
 back to journal. In the case of MacVim, this is `-f`:
 ```yaml
 editor: "mvim -f"
 ```
 ### iA Writer
 On OS X, you can use the fabulous [iA
 Writer](http://www.iawriter.com/mac) to write entries. Configure your
 `jrnl.yaml` like this:
 ```yaml
 editor: "open -b pro.writer.mac -Wn"
 ```
 What does this do? `open -b ...` opens a file using the application
 identified by the bundle identifier (a unique string for every app out
 there). `-Wn` tells the application to wait until it's closed before
 passing back control, and to use a new instance of the application.
 If the `pro.writer.mac` bundle identifier is not found on your system,
 you can find the right string to use by inspecting iA Writer's
 `Info.plist` file in your shell:
 ```sh
 grep -A 1 CFBundleIdentifier /Applications/iA\ Writer.app/Contents/Info.plist
 ```
 ### Notepad++ on Windows
 To set [Notepad++](http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) as your editor, edit
 the `jrnl` config file (`jrnl.yaml`) like this:
 ```yaml
 editor: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe -multiInst -nosession"
 ```
 The double backslashes are needed so `jrnl` can read the file path
 correctly. The `-multiInst -nosession` options will cause `jrnl` to open
 its own Notepad++ window.
 ### emacs
 To use `emacs` as your editor, edit the `jrnl` config file (`jrnl.yaml`) like this:
 ```yaml
 editor: emacsclient -a "" -c
 ```
 When you're done editing the message, save and `C-x #` to close the buffer and stop the emacsclient process.

 ```
 ## Standalone Commands
 These commands will exit after they complete. You may only run one at a time.
 ### --help
 Show a help message.
 ### --version
 Print version and license information.
 ### --list
 List the config file location, all configured journals, and their locations.
 ### ---encrypt
 Encrypt a journal. See [encryption](encryption.md) for more information.
 ### --decrypt
 Decrypt a journal. See [encryption](encryption.md) for more information.
 ### --import
 Import entries from another journal. If any entries have the exact same content
 and timestamp, they will be deduplicated.
 Optional parameters:
 ```sh
 --file FILENAME
 ```
 Specify a file to import. If not provided, `jrnl` will use STDIN as the data source.
 ```sh
 --format TYPE
 ```
 Specify the format of the file that is being imported. Defaults to the same data
 storage method that jrnl uses. See [formats](formats.md) for more information.
 ## Writing new entries
 See [Basic Usage](usage.md).
 ## Searching
 To find entries from your journal, use any combination of the below filters.
 Only entries that match all the filters will be displayed.
 When specifying dates, you can use the same kinds of dates you use for new
 entries, such as `yesterday`, `today`, `Tuesday`, or `2021-08-01`.
 | Search Argument | Description |
 | --- | --- |
 | -on DATE | Show entries on this date |
 | -today-in-history | Show entries of today over the years |
 | -month DATE | Show entries on this month of any year |
 | -day DATE | Show entries on this day of any month |
 | -year DATE | Show entries of a specific year |
 | -from DATE | Show entries after, or on, this date |
 | -to DATE | Show entries before, or on, this date (alias: -until) |
 | -contains TEXT | Show entries containing specific text (put quotes around text with spaces) |
 | -and | Show only entries that match all conditions, like saying "x AND y" (default: OR) |
 | -starred | Show only starred entries (marked with *) |
 | -tagged | Show only tagged entries (marked with the [configured tagsymbols](reference-config-file.md#tagsymbols)) |
 | -n [NUMBER] | Show a maximum of NUMBER entries (note: '-n 3' and '-3' have the same effect) |
 | -not [TAG] | Exclude entries with this tag |
 | -not -starred | Exclude entries that are starred |
 | -not -tagged | Exclude entries that are tagged |
 ## Searching Options
 These help you do various tasks with the selected entries from your search.
 If used on their own (with no search), they will act on your entire journal.
 ### --edit
 Opens the selected entries in your configured editor. It will fail if the
 `editor` key is not set in your config file.
 Once you begin editing, you can add multiple entries and delete entries
 by modifying the text in your editor. When your editor closes, jrnl reads
 the temporary file you were editing and makes the changes to your journal.
 ### --delete
 Interactively deletes selected entries. You'll be asked to confirm deletion of
 each entry.
 ### --change-time DATE
 Interactively changes the time of the selected entries to the date specified,
 or to right now if no date is specified. You'll be asked to confirm each entry,
 unless you are using this with `--edit` on a single entry.
 ### --format TYPE
 Display selected entries in an alternate format. See [formats](formats.md).
 #### Optional parameters
 ```sh
 --file FILENAME
 ```
 Write output to file instead of STDOUT. In most shells, the
 same effect can be achieved using `>`.
 ### --tags
 Alias for '--format tags'. Returns a list of all tags and the number of times
 they occur within the searched entries. If there are no tags found, `jrnl` will output a message saying so.
 ### --short
 Only shows the date and titles of the searched entries.
 ## Configuration arguments
 ### --config-override CONFIG_KEY CONFIG_VALUE
 Override configured key-value pair with CONFIG_KV_PAIR for this command invocation only. To access config keys that aren't at the top level, separate the keys with a dot, such as `colors.title` to access the `title` key within the `colors` key. Read [advanced usage](./advanced.md) for examples.
 ### --config-file CONFIG_FILE_PATH
 Use the config file at CONFIG_FILE_PATH for this command invocation only.
 Read [advanced usage](./advanced.md) for examples.
 ## Other Arguments
 ### --debug
 Prints information useful for troubleshooting while `jrnl` executes.
 ### --diagnostic
 Prints diagnostic information useful for [reporting issues](https://github.com/jrnl-org/jrnl/issues).

 # Configuration File Reference
 `jrnl` stores its information in a YAML configuration file.
 !!! note
    Backup your journal and config file before editing. Changes to the config file
    can have destructive effects on your journal!
 ## Config location
 You can find your configuration file location by running:
 `jrnl --list`
 By default, the configuration file is `~/.config/jrnl/jrnl.yaml`.
 If you have the `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` variable set, the configuration
 file will be saved as `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jrnl/jrnl.yaml`.
 !!! note
    On Windows, the configuration file is typically found at
    `%USERPROFILE%\.config\jrnl\jrnl.yaml`.
 ## Config format
 The configuration file is a [YAML](https://yaml.org/) file and can be edited with
 a text editor.
 ## Config keys
 ### journals
 Describes each journal used by `jrnl`. Each indented key after this key is
 the name of a journal.
 If a journal key has a value, that value will be interpreted as the path
 to the journal. Otherwise, the journal needs the additional indented key
 `journal` to specify its path.
 All keys below can be specified for each journal at the same level as the
 `journal` key. If a key conflicts with a top-level key, the journal-specific
 key will be used instead.
 ### editor
 If set, executes this command to launch an external editor for
 writing and editing your entries. The path to a temporary file
 is passed after it, and `jrnl` processes the file once
 the editor returns control to `jrnl`.
 Some editors require special options to work properly, since they must be
 blocking processes to work with `jrnl`. See [External Editors](external-editors.md)
 for details.
 ### encrypt
 If `true`, encrypts your journal using AES. Do not change this
 value for journals that already have data in them.
 ### template
 The path to a text file to use as a template for new entries. Only works when you
 have the `editor` field configured. If you use a template, the editor's
 [temporary files](privacy-and-security.md#files-in-transit-from-editor-to-jrnl)
 will have the same extension as the template.
 ### tagsymbols
 Symbols to be interpreted as tags.
 !!! note
    Although it seems intuitive to use the `#`
    character for tags, there's a drawback: on most shells, this is
    interpreted as a meta-character starting a comment. This means that if
    you type
    > `jrnl Implemented endless scrolling on the #frontend of our website.`
    your bash will chop off everything after the `#` before passing it to
      `jrnl`. To avoid this, wrap your input into quotation marks like
      this:
    > `jrnl "Implemented endless scrolling on the #frontend of our website."`
  Or use the built-in prompt or an external editor to compose your
  entries.
 ### default_hour and default_minute
 Entries will be created at this time if you supply a date but no specific time (for example, `last thursday`).
 ### timeformat
 Defines how to format the timestamps as they are stored in your journal.
 See the [python docs](http://docs.python.org/library/time.html#time.strftime) for reference.
 Do not change this for an existing journal, since that might lead
 to data loss.
 !!! note
    `jrnl` doesn't support the `%z` or `%Z` time zone identifiers.
 ### highlight
 If `true`, tags will be highlighted in cyan.
 ### linewrap
 Controls the width of the output. Set to `false` if you don't want to
 wrap long lines. Set to `auto` to let `jrnl` automatically determine
 the terminal width.
 ### colors
 A dictionary that controls the colors used to display journal entries.
 It has four subkeys, which are: `body`, `date`, `tags`, and `title`.
 Current valid values are: `BLACK`, `RED`, `GREEN`, `YELLOW`, `BLUE`,
 `MAGENTA`, `CYAN`, `WHITE`, and `NONE`.
 `colorama.Fore` is used for colorization, and you can find the [docs here](https://github.com/tartley/colorama#colored-output).
 To disable colored output, set the value to `NONE`.
 ### display_format
 Specifies formatter to use by default. See [formats](formats.md).
 ### version
 `jrnl` automatically updates this field to the version that it is running.
 There is no need to change this field manually.

        - Faster reading and writing for large journals
        - New encryption back-end that makes installing jrnl much easier
        - Tons of bug fixes
        Please note that jrnl 1.x is NOT forward compatible with this version of jrnl.
