Additional Information

Joplin Plugin - Journal

Create or open a note for today, or for another date selected from a date picker. This plugin will create a folder hierarchy for you.

Manual

1. Click Tools -> Journal -> Open Today's Note to open a note for today. If the note does not exist, it be will be created as a new note. Default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+D.
2. Click Tools -> Journal -> Open Another day's Note, to open a calendar to choose a date to journal. Default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+O.
3. Click Tools -> Journal -> Insert a link to Today's Note to insert a reference link to today's note. If the note does not exist, it will be created. Default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+L.
4. Click Tools -> Journal -> Insert a link to Another day's Note to insert a reference link to another day's note. If the note does not exist, it will be created. Default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+T.

You can customize the keyboard shortcuts via Tools -> Options -> Keyboard shortcuts, and then using journal in the search box to filter the keyboard shortcuts for the Journal plugin.

Known issues

If you create the same note (a note with the same title and in the same folder) too quickly, a duplicate note will be created with the same name.

When using the default shortcut Ctrl+Alt+D to create today's note, you should wait more than 10 seconds before using the shortcut again, or it will create a duplicate note. This is because Joplin needs around 10 seconds to build the note's index - it should be found after about 10 seconds.
