Hello Mortimer,
I really like your approach as it is simple and does exactly what I want it
to do. In addition to what you've written here, I got it to play nice with
ledger-report-mode by customizing the `ledger-reports` variable as follows:
(setq ledger-reports
'(("bal" "gpg --no-tty -d %(ledger-file) | ledger -f - bal")
("reg" "gpg --no-tty -d %(ledger-file) | ledger -f - reg")
("payee" "gpg --no-tty -d %(ledger-file) ledger -f - reg
@%(payee)")
("account" "gpg --no-tty -d %(ledger-file) | ledger -f - reg
%(account)")))
Hope this helps!
