I don't think this should be a general vim feature either. Yet another idea to solve this: Why not use syntax and set forgground/background color to the same value to hide the text? Then you don't even notice that there is text. eg hidden Password: $ <- end of line revealed Password: my secret pwd $ <- end of line you can use regexp to match secrets this way. Marc
