Using encrypted documents with vim
Michael Boelen
Encrypting files with vim Everyone has secrets. Disable backups During editing your files you may not want to leak any sensitive data. As this may contain sensitive data, disable the file if you don’t want to take any risk of leaking data. For example: set cryptmethod=blowfish2 set nobackup set nowritebackup set viminfo= With these settings in place, we can start using the encryption options vim has to offer. This will be used to mangle all data and ensure others (without the key) can’t see the data.
