I've just made a separate post about this which you can also refer to, however I can't stress enough how great it would be to have a more convenient way to close the journals, like hitting esc or clicking outside the journal area or something. I'm on a laptop in a fairly cramped area using a trackpack and constantly navigating to the arrows on-screen to essentially "switch pages" in order to close the journal is really tedious and obnoxious due to my setup - I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation.
