ikloecker added a comment to T6109: Kleopatra: Better way to show expired subkeys.

Another idea (based on above ideas): We add an optional column named "Valid For" and only list the usages that are currently possible. If the encryption subkey is expired, then the key will probably only be valid for signing and certifying. This should be easier to understand than my fancy color coding idea while still giving the user a hint what a certain certificate can be used for. I'd still abbreviate the usage to a single letter in English. Translators could still use more letters if a single letter would be ambiguous.

Another idea would be a gpgconf daemon that answers all queries from its in-memory cache.

OTOH, gpgme does already cache the config so this would only have an effect when starting Kleopatra.
