<p>Great work on bringing together the GPG Tools and Support
Forum!</p>
<p>I'm running latest GPG Tools Installation on latest version of
OSX Lion.</p>
<p>Would like to be able to use Command-C to copy a public key from
a webpage and then Command-V to paste it into GPG KeyChain Access.
I could swear I did this recently one or two versions back, but now
with the latest version, can no longer do so or have forgotten
how.</p>
<p>Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Downloading, Saving
and Importing keys as files is certainly doable but often a great
waste of time - if copy/paste an alternative.</p>
<p>Lastly, is there any documentation to help me understand what
GPG Services offer and how/where I might want to use them?</p></div>tcbtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/116148832011-11-23T08:35:05Z2011-11-23T08:35:05ZImporting Public Keys Via Copy-And-Paste<div><p>Thank you for your feedback. I created a ticket for that. You
could import a public key from a web page by using GPGServices.</p></div>Alextag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/116148832011-11-24T10:41:01Z2011-11-24T10:41:01ZImporting Public Keys Via Copy-And-Paste<div><p>Copy and paste still works.</p></div>Mentotag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/116148832011-11-24T18:00:43Z2011-11-24T18:00:43ZImporting Public Keys Via Copy-And-Paste<div><p>Also on this machine.

this issue?</p></div>Alextag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/116148832011-11-25T02:24:08Z2011-11-26T18:21:07ZImporting Public Keys Via Copy-And-Paste<div><p>I'm assuming there are TWO ways to copy and paste a public key
into my existing keychain using GPG Tools, yes?</p>
<p>Method 1: - Using an open/activated version of GPG Keychain
Access ...and</p>
<p>Method 2: - Somehow using GPG Services which I've not used
before.</p>
<p>Assuming Post 3 above meant copy-and-paste works with Method 1,
could someone provide me the explicit steps needed AFTER one has
selected and copied a public key from a website using
COMMAND-C?</p>
<p>As for Method 2, I'm not familiar at all with how to use GPG
Services and my first attempt to assign a key sequence to importing
a key caused my keychain to temporarily disappear and for GPG to
give me error messages until I did a complete reinstall of GPG
Tools from scratch.</p></div>tcbtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/116148832011-11-25T06:22:46Z2011-11-25T06:22:46ZImporting Public Keys Via Copy-And-Paste<div><p>could you tell us which key you're trying to import?</p>
