keyid-format fingerprint
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

keyid-format only supports "short" (8 character) and "long" (16 character).
I'd like to use "fingerprint" (32 characters).

That is not possible for two reasons:

  1. For v3 keys the fingerprint is different from the keyID.
  2. We often have only the keyID but not the fingerprint available.

For modern gnupg, we no longer support v3 keys, and we're considering making
--with-fingerprint the default (see
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2016-January/030748.html), so i
think this suggestion should actually be reconsidered.

(btw, "fingerprint" should be 40 hex chars, not 32 as if suggested)
