I didn't expect this, but passwordstore.org is actually a great general-purpose notebook-style application. It's intended (and I do use it) as a password manager. It's designed to be super UNIXy, so basically the ``pass`` command creates a directory for its files (the location is configurable, but it defaults to ~/.pass, but you can maintain any number of them you want, such as ~/.notebook or whatever).
Each file in your pass directory is encrypted with whatever key you configure.
When you use the command ``pass edit mynote.txt``, it decrypts ~/.notebook/mynote.txt`` in RAM, passes it to your EDITOR or VISUAL setting (I use Emacs but I think it can be anything), and then encrypts back to the file.
It's been working really well. Not at all how I expected to use it (I also use it for its intended purpose) but quite effective.

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.
Well, google told me....
As there is no rpm for it, it looks like I would have to build it myself:
https://plugins.geany.org/install.html
Don't have time for that right now.
