  • Vim (Vi Improved)

    From bcw142@21:1/145 to All on Mon Sep 18 13:08:52 2017
    Just in case some of you are using vim on Linux/Pi etc. it has built in encryption with :X or starting with -x on the command line. It will ask for
    an encryption key which can be one or more characters below I used 123

    That's the hexedit output of a file called hi. As you can see the first 11 characters show you it's Vim encryption. So with Linux/Pi there is an easy built-in encryption (if you used vi ;) I learned AT&T Unix back in the 1980's working at AT&T so I learned basic vi back then. Vim works over any
    telnet/ssh type shell and the arrow keys work without needed to change modes like old vi. All the old commands will work so in DD /bin/bash mystic shells the old vi stuff works like HJKL for movement even when the arrow keys don't. That mode defaults to about 23 usable lines per page, the last line repeats forever to make other lines, you'll know when you see it.

    I like it, but .. synchronous only :( ... I haven't figured out the super easy way to use gnugp with vim yet.

    Do you have any tips?
