Vi/Vim
Just use vim or vi which offers file encryption with blowfish when using -x option.
create a file for encryption as follows:
vim -x filename.txt
Then it will prompt to enter encryption key
Enter encryption key:
Once a file has been encrypted by Vim once, you never need to use the -x option when opening that file again. Vim will automatically recognize it as an encrypted file and do the right thing.
Because Blowfish is a symmetric key encryption system, the same key is used for both encryption and decryption. When Vim opens a file for the first time with the -x option, the first thing it will do is ask you to give it a key you can use to encrypt and decrypt the file, with this prompt:
Need encryption key for "abc.txt"
Enter encryption key:
After entering the key, you will then be asked to confirm the key, to ensure you did not mistype it.
Enter same key again:
Then it will open as normally as usual.

CryptoTE
According to the website.
CryptoTE is a text editor with integrated strong cryptography.
It is based on the popular Scintilla widget and automatically stores
text data in secure encrypted container files.
Compared to other "password keeper" programs, CryptoTE does not force
any structure upon your data: it works with plain ASCII text
and does not require you to fill in grids, key-value attributes,descriptions etc.
Encryption is transparently performed using the
highly-secure Serpent cipher. The editing interface is thoroughly
optimized for speed and ease of use.
Multiple subfiles, Quick-Find and a two-click random password generator
make daily use very convenient.

This is easy to do in Ubuntu's default text editor gedit a.k.a. Text Editor.
Open Find and Replace menu by using the default Ctrl+H key shortcut or by using the context menu in the top right of gedit.
If you are editing a file with UNIX-style line endings, do a find & replace like so:
Find: \n
Replace with: space
If you are editing a file with Windows-style line-endings, do a find & replace like so:
Find: \r\n
Replace with: space
