+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This is a minor mode for hiding passwords. It's useful if you
+;; manage your passwords in text files (perhaps automatically
+;; encrypted and decrypted by EasyPG) and want to prevent shoulder
+;; surfing.
+;;
+;; When enabled, any passwords will appear as ******, but you'll still
+;; be able to copy the password to the clipboard.
+;;
+;; By default, passwords are marked by delimiting them with pipes (|).
+;; For example:
+;;
+;; root: |supersecret|
+;;
+;; will display as
+;;
+;; root: |******|
+;;
+;; You can customize hidepw-pattern to match against arbitrary regular
+;; expressions. Just make sure to include one capturing group (\(\))
+;; since the group marks the actual password. You can also customize
+;; the mask (******) that obscures the password.
+;;
+;; You can enable hidepw-mode automatically on .gpg files with:
+;;
+;; (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
+;;              '("\\.gpg\\'" . (lambda () (hidepw-mode))))
+;;
+;; Notes:
+;;
+;; You won't be able to move the cursor within the password (it will
+;; behave like a single character), but deleting the delimiter from
+;; either side will reveal the password and make it editable. Just add
+;; the delimiter back to hide it again.
+;;
+;; This mode turns on font-lock-mode (and won't turn it off when you
+;; turn off this mode).
