description

Due to the lack of time I'm not able to continue the development of this script. James McCoy took over development. New versions can be found at vimscript #3645. This script implements transparent editing of gpg encrypted files. The filename must have a ".gpg", ".pgp" or ".asc" suffix. When opening such a file the content is decrypted, when opening a new file the script will ask for the recipients of the encrypted file. The file content will be encrypted to all recipients before it is written. The script turns off viminfo and swapfile to increase security. Commands:   :GPGEditRecipients     Opens a scratch buffer to change the list of recipients. Recipients that     are unknown (not in your public key) are highlighted and have     a prepended "!". Closing the buffer makes the changes permanent.   :GPGViewRecipients     Prints the list of recipients.   :GPGEditOptions     Opens a scratch buffer to change the options for encryption (symmetric,     asymmetric, signing). Closing the buffer makes the changes permanent.     WARNING: There is no check of the entered options, so you need to know     what you are doing.   :GPGViewOptions     Prints the list of options. Variables:   g:GPGExecutable     If set used as gpg executable, otherwise the system chooses what is run     when "gpg" is called. Defaults to "gpg".   g:GPGUseAgent     If set to 0 a possible available gpg-agent won't be used. Defaults to 1.   g:GPGPreferSymmetric     If set to 1 symmetric encryption is preferred for new files. Defaults to 0.   g:GPGPreferArmor     If set to 1 armored data is preferred for new files. Defaults to 0.   g:GPGPreferSign     If set to 1 signed data is preferred for new files. Defaults to 0.   g:GPGDefaultRecipients     If set, these recipients are used as defaults when no other recipient is     defined. This variable is a Vim list. Default is unset. Known Issues:   In some cases gvim can't decryt files   This is caused by the fact that a running gvim has no TTY and thus gpg is   not able to ask for the passphrase by itself. This is a problem for Windows   and Linux versions of gvim and could not be solved unless a "terminal   emulation" is implemented for gvim. To circumvent this you have to use any   combination of gpg-agent and a graphical pinentry program:     - gpg-agent only:         you need to provide the passphrase for the needed key to gpg-agent         in a terminal before you open files with gvim which require this key.     - pinentry only:         you will get a popup window every time you open a file that needs to         be decrypted.     - gpgagent and pinentry:         you will get a popup window the first time you open a file that         needs to be decrypted.

install details

Copy the gnupg.vim file to the $HOME/.vim/plugin directory. Refer to ':help add-plugin', ':help add-global-plugin' and ':help runtimepath' for more details about Vim plugins. From "man 1 gpg-agent": ... You should always add the following lines to your .bashrc or whatever initialization file is used for all shell invocations:      GPG_TTY=`tty`      export GPG_TTY It is important that this environment variable always reflects the output of the tty command. For W32 systems this option is not required. ... Most distributions provide software to ease handling of gpg and gpg-agent. Examples are keychain or seahorse.

gnupg.vim	2782	2009-06-15	7.0	Markus Braun	- show more information (key id and creation time) of keys in GPGEditRecipients, GPGViewRecipients and during selecting in case of a ambiguous key.
gnupg.vim	2773	2009-05-27	7.0	Markus Braun	- fix a bug in detecting windows platforms - added g:GPGPreferSign to sign encrypted files by default (thanks to Tim Swast).
gnupg.vim	2276	2008-08-18	7.0	Markus Braun	- added support for default recipients via the variable g:GPGDefaultRecipients. - fixed an wrong error message with symmetric encryption and set recipients (thanks to Sebastian Luettich). - create a empty new buffer on leaving vim to wipe out sensitive data on console. - make sure senisitive data is never written unencrypted to disk.
gnupg.vim	2249	2008-07-31	7.0	Markus Braun	- rewritten lots of code to use lists feature of vim 7 instead of my own implementation - added a n option to change the name and location of GPG executable - try to get GPG_TTY dynamically.
