GeanyPG
*******

GeanyPG is a plugin that allows the user to encrypt, decrypt text
and verify signatures with GnuPG from inside Geany. It's created by
Hans Alves and is part of the geany-plugins project.

After the plugin has been installed successfully, it can be loaded
from inside Geany's plugin manager which will add a new menu item
into the Tools menu offering functions of the plugin..

To decrypt or encrypt, just select the interesting parts and choose
the function you wish -- If none text has been selected, the whole
document will be processed. In case you like to verify a signature
obviously you will have to select the whole block.

When encrypting a message you can choose to sign at the same time.
If a passphrase is needed, the GPGME library will decide how the
user is prompted. Usually this will use gpg-agent. If gpg-agent is
disabled, pinentry (see man 1 pinentry) will be used.
