Since I discovered gnupg.vim I've really started using gpg encryption on daily bases. This addon takes care of decryption when you open the file (asking for your keys pass phrase) and re-encrypts with modifications when the file is saved. Is there a text editor on windows (I'm using notepad++ right now) which have similar functionality?

why link to code.google.com when Windows gVim is available from vim.org's download page? (tho the answer might well be "64-bit", i'm not sure.) – quack quixote May 11 '10 at 12:40

@quack: because bram publishes up-to-date binaries (current most patch level) at that place... AND the 64bit version as well. – akira May 11 '10 at 12:45
Actually I think gVim feels a bit out of place on a Windows. While I love vim and use it all the time for everything in console mode I prefer texteditors as UltraEdit and Notepad++ on Windows. Now I'm just waiting for the Emacs:ians to reply that Emacs are also on Win and have scripts with the same functionality :D I already now there is ;) – egolost May 14 '10 at 8:57
and (as crazy the emacsians are :)) right they are. why does vim feels unnatural on windows? – akira May 14 '10 at 9:17
