No config.toml file or tui-journal directory when installing through nixpkgs

[Arqamz]

Im on nixos and i installed tui-journal as such in my configuration.nix file

  environment.systemPackages = [
    pkgs.tui-journal
  ]

However I can't find the config file OR the tui-journal directory anywhere on my system.

Configuration file wouldn't be automatically generated but this is achievable with CLI arguments directly:

tjournal -w  

This will write the current configurations to the standard config directory (normally $HOME/.config on linux) within the directory 'tui-journal', and then it will start the app.

Besides that, you have the command

tjournal print-config

which will print the current configurations to the standard output, which allow users to check the current path for their data files.

Note: I didn't bundle the app to nixpkgs and the maintainer for it haven't contacted me, but I'm happy that this app is already available for the great nix package manager

Wow that was really quick and helpful! Great app, I will definitely be using it alott. Just a tiny note, not everyone knows 'Emacs binds', so you could maybe list those bindings in the editor keybinds page?

Glad that it help :relaxed:

I think I can extend the help pop-up for the editor and add some basic emacs key bindings :+1:

Thank you!

Let's keep this issue open as reminder for adding emacs keybindings
