Is support for smartcards planned? I keep my private key stored on my YubiKey NEO.

Not yet. The problem is that EncryptPad only supports symmetric encryption. A gpg private key cannot be used for it. I have not investigated different smartcards and what symmetric encryption support they have. It's something I am going to do in the future.

I also consider adding support for asymmetric OpenPGP encryption to EncryptPad. Then it will be easier to use smartcards.

More details on the EncryptPad key file: here

Awesome, glad to hear it's on the table down the road.

Asymmetric encryption with Yubikey is the holy grail!

Please tell me this will be available in next few months!

Hi, I hear ya. Sadly, I can't promise it in the next few months. This feature is not high priority too and it will take a lot of time to implement.
