Crypting text with my new favorite text editor, VIM.

So this is extremely simply, if you know about it. Which I didn't untill just now when looking for a simple way to encrypt text data. Now it's as simple as this, when starting a new file run this command to have it encrypted as well;

"vim -x filename"

Which will prompt you for the password you would like to use to encrypt it. To save a while once you've finished up press "ctrl o" then ":w filename"

And you're done. Though I'm not all to sure how secure the encryption is, I still suggest using truecrypt.

You can get vim with the "apt-get install vim" command.
