 There are also more complex options available. You can set any configuration properties either in the environment, or in a config file (stored in `~/.config/notes/config`), with settings in config overriding those in your environment. This allows you to configure a different `$EDITOR` for notes to everything else, if you like. The config file is a good choice for more complex set ups, but probably not worth worrying about to start with. We've included an example config in this repo for you ([config.example](config.example)) that you can copy if you like.

+### What are the configuration options?

+* `EDITOR` can also be overriden here, for `notes` only.
