GNU Emacs does this better if you really want it that bad.

Install the gpg and/or crypt++ packages (M-x list-packages).  I don't
know whether they support dealing with the swap file and backup files
automatically.

I have no idea what you're talking about.  ;-)

There is a library called skeleton.el (requires you to set things up
if there isn't a mode already), there are the abbrev (requires you to
define abbreviations) and dynamic abbreviation (M-/ -- searches all
buffers for completions of the current prefix) facilities.
