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.
Where did you find a pgp plugin for Geany?
I use Geany a lot, and having pgp for it could be good.
