Ability to use org-mode instead of org-journal mode

[kvineet]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I open/create my journal file, it is by default opened in org-journal-mode. Which removes org-mode. This removes any customizations I have configured for org-mode like custom-faces etc.

I might be missing something, but I don't see any benefit in having org-journal-mode as a separate thing. It does not seem add any functionality, it just seem to take out lot of org-mode functionality including company completions.

Describe the solution you'd like Functions like org-journal-today and org-journal-new-entry, should open the corresponding journal file in org-mode instead of org-journal-mode.

Describe alternatives you've considered

(setq org-journal-date-prefix "; -*- mode: org;-*-\n#+TITLE: ")

This has been discussed a few times. We agree in general. If anything, org-journal-mode should be a minor mode, not a major mode.

Perhaps in the next major release we will try to implement this.

Another workaround until this is fixed is to redefine org-journal-is-journal in your configuration to just return nil. Then you don't need to add the header everywhere.

And if you would add something to it, couldn't you simply derive from org-mode?
