securitybreach Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 I used to use this years ago but forgot about it until someone on diaspora reposted the steps: How to encrypt a single text file using VIM/GVIM :set cm=blowfish2 :X enter your password or -phrase twice; longer is better; 10 words+ excellent! optional: write passphrase down hard copy and put in wallet enter text as usual; then ESC to exit insert mode :w (/path/to)/FILENAME.TXT :q When you open the file again, VIM will ask your passphrase first, then you edit again as usual. Done! https://joindiaspora.com/people/83d7f790eec80131af1952540061b601 1 Quote
wa4chq Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 That's pretty slick. I haven't used vi, vim or gvim much so I always have to look up the function keys...... Quote
