encryption with vim

[Mathieu Roux]

Hello,

I use encryption with vim.
I just do :X
and then i write 2 times my password.
After my file is crypted.

1) What about now, if i want to cancel encryption (i don't want
password anymore).
If i try set key=
it does not work: again the same password when i open vim again.

2) And what about now if i want to change password?
If i do :X in the open file, and enter 2 times my new password, it is
the same... when i close the file and open it again, only the old
password is ok.

Best regards,
Mathieu

Yank and paste to a new buffer/file?

You need to write the file:
:set key=
:write

Sounds like you are missing the write here as well.
