configuration

Remindme configuration is placed in a JSON file at ~/.remindme.

• using an external editor
• configuring encryption functions
• retries

using an external editor:

An external editor is necessary for editing existing remindmes. This configures Remindme to open up the editor when adding or editing remindmes.

{
    "editor": "<command>"
}

where <command> can be the editor’s command e.g. vim, gedit etc.

However, if you are using the built-in editor and want to change the ‘line end’, that is, the :end to something shorter or your preferred keys:

{
    "end_line": ":q"
}

configuring encryption functions:

If you only encrypt your remindmes a few times, you may want to change you choice on encrypting by default. Consequently, you won’t be asked for a password unless you pass the option --encrypt (requesting encryption):

{
    "encrypt_by_default": false
}

Encryption can be disabled altogether:

{
    "disable_encryption": true
}

## retries:

When entering a password for a note that is about to be encrypted, you are prompted to re-enter the password so as to ensure they match. This can be disabled using:

{
    "retry_password_match": false
}

When decryption fails, you may want to be prompted again for a correct password. This behavior can be enabled using:

{
    "retry_decryption": true
}
