Usage

The recipient determines the key that will be used to encrypt the file.

Open already encrypted files

echo foo | gpg --encrypt --armor -r yourkey  # ex. yourkey='you' from 'you@example.com' > foo.gpg
nvim foo.gpg  # the key will be detected and used if present

New files, from commandline

touch foo.gpg
nvim foo.gpg
# a split will appear. add email key to use (gpg --list-keys)

New files, from vim

:e new.gpg
:GPGEditRecipients  " add email of key to use (gpg --list-keys)
:w

Configuration

let g:GPGPreferArmor = 1

" Optionally, if no recipient (gpgkey) is set, default to encrypting/decrypting with these keys
" (encrypted keys will generally know which key to use, but new encrypted files may not)
let g:GPGDefaultRecipients = ['foo@domain.com', 'bar@domain.com']
