Encryption really isn't the business of a text editor. Decrypt the
cipher-text, feed it to the editor, encrypt when saving, and be sure to
delete any temporary/backup files.

Yes. there are windows of vulnerability in there, but I would suggest they
are less risky than relying on amateur cryptography.
