In neovim, :X (and cryptography in general) is removed https://github.com/neovim/neovim/commit/85338fe

Thanks great link. tldr:

> vim encryption uses old, obsolete algorithms that are poorly implemented. Since insecure cryptography is worse than no cryptgraphy, the community voted in favor of removing all crypto.

[jpavel2]

This was in 2014. Since then, Vim has added non-obsolete encryption algorithms (some provided by libsodium), used by default.

This is different from :x though

[isbjorn16]

I think their point is sometimes their left pinky is a bit lazy and won't get off the fucking shift key

[the_fury]

It is, but accidentally hitting capslock instead of shift when hitting the colon is extremely easy to do.

[drdaeman]

Caps Lock is that key that's best replaced with Ctrl? ;)

[MayeulC]

Only for Emacs users. Vim users generally replace it with Escape.

[bombela]

Except that vim was designed on a keyboard with the Ctrl key at the place of your current capslock (for most keyboards, Japanese still have Ctrl at the "right" plac).

[vasac]

Why not both ;) - ESC when tapped, CTRL as a modifier key when pressed together with some other key.

[MayeulC]

Good idea! Though aborting a Ctrl-C could close a dialog window :/

[pxx]

I'm a vim user and replace it with Ctrl. It's much more useful and you can use ^[ to get Escape.

[still_grokking]

I like Compose on CapsLock more.

[dotancohen]

I like to have Caps Lock cycle the last two used keyboard languages. A necessity when there are five designated on the keyboard!
