Vim offers strong file encryption with Blowfish
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/security/?p=4870
Haven't looked into it much, yet. On a Windows machine, today, where I did notice that it seems to bork tab-based autocompletion when specifying a filename while saving (^I doesn't trigger autocompletion).

This is pretty nice! My wish for these types of things - can you just put out a big list key combos to browse through? I know the basic concepts of vim but I just want to see how the commands can be strung together. Something like: - ggVG: highlight the whole file - jj: escape (this is in my .vimrc, not standard) - xp: swap letters - vab: highlight an s-exp (inluding the parens) - gt: go to the next tab to the right…
Before I made a brief foray in the land emacs, I used tabs in VIM rather than leveraging the buffer system (I came from a Windows world, so I was used to tabs in other editors). Then emacs opened my eyes to magic of buffers, and when I returned to VIM (for various reasons), I found buffers to be better than tabs, especially once I first learned the commands, and then updated my .vimrc with a few useful shortcuts, par…

I checked out buffers - it's not clear to me why they are better than tabs. It seems like a different UI treatment for basically the same thing. Can you clue me in?
Basically, the only case where you should be using tabs is when you have several different arrangements of windows that you want to switch back and forth between.

Please tell me the difference. All I see is that it's more difficult to switch when using buffers instead of tabs (have to press :, have to add ! if it's not saved).
Also, you should always make sure 'set hidden' is in your '~/.vimrc'. It's a crime that it's not default in my opinion. Takes care of the dumb "have to add ! if it's not saved)." thing.

There are multiple plugins to cosmetically improve interaction with buffers, my favourite is minibufexplorer. Using tabs like you might in other editors is fine for a beginner, but once you begin to learn and use more advanced vim features you'll very quickly realize they don't scale.

Bind it to a key and switching between buffers (or on-disk files that are not even loaded) becomes as simple as typing a few letters of the filename.
No more scanning of abbreviated tab-labels, no more trial and error cycling through buffers. Highly recommended.

And, in vim you can type:
:help buffers
:help tab-page
