Re: Any good text editor supporting PGP encryption and packaged for Fedora?

    I didn't expect this, but passwordstore.org
      is actually a great

      general-purpose notebook-style application.  It's intended (and I
      do

      use it) as a password manager. It's designed to be super UNIXy, so

      basically the ``pass`` command creates a directory for its files
      (the

      location is configurable, but it defaults to ~/.pass, but you can

      maintain any number of them you want, such as ~/.notebook or
      whatever).

      
      Each file in your pass directory is encrypted with whatever key
      you

      configure.

      
      When you use the command ``pass edit mynote.txt``, it decrypts

      ~/.notebook/mynote.txt`` in RAM, passes it to your EDITOR or
      VISUAL

      setting (I use Emacs but I think it can be anything), and then
      encrypts

      back to the file.

      
      It's been working really well. Not at all how I expected to use it
      (I

      also use it for its intended purpose) but quite effective.

    HI!

    
    Thank you for the 2 responses. Quickly I indeed did find both Emacs
    and Vim have extension which can do the job but was more into a
    graphical solution. 

    
    Pass indeed seems interesting. I will look into it, so thank you for
    that. 

    
    Doing further research I also found a non-free app which is
    cross-platform called Sublimetext, which works with a plugin, but
    haven't figured out how to get this hierarchised tree structure
    layout yet. 

    
    I am also looking into Geany, which is also supposed to work with a
    plugin, but I need to fiddle a bit more with decryption as it's
    missing something (probably from my side). There also seems to be a
    plugin for the tree structure.

    
    Thank you again for the help.

    
    Fred
