[Feature] add new journal entry from the view entry screen

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. After creating a new journal entry you are returned to the view entry screen, which is sensible as you probably want to check your entry before returning to the list.

However quite often the next thing you want to do is to create another new entry. There is no quick way to do this - you have to return to the list first.

Describe the solution you'd like A button (preferably) at the bottom of screen to create a new entry. Either with the copy (which I have never used and could well be removed or buried in a menu), trash (seldom used) and request sync (frequently used as auto sync is not reliable) icons, or another floating button like the edit item one.

Describe alternatives you've considered Add it to the three dots menu in the top bar - but this would be pretty poor solution as youd never see it that being a placecwhere very rarely used items are buried.

Create new item from the view item screen is (for me) a frequently required function and should a clearly visible option.

Additional context

As well as creating a new entry right after creating a previous one, quite often I want to check a previous entry before adding a new one - again a shortcut to get from item view to new item would be very useful
