10.8.2: The ability to import a public key from the clipboard would be really nice
I find it really weird that the keychain access app has no feature that allows the user to import a key from their clipboard. If you could add this feature, it would be greatly appreciated.
Adding "import key from selection" to the right click menu would be nice, too.
Thanks.

Hey Jackson,
could you please provide a few more details.
GPG Keychain Access already does provide this feature. So we need to look into those details to find out, why it's not working for you.
Best regards, Steve

I am using OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
I am using the latest nightly build.
I am looking for a menu option or keyboard shortcut that allows me to import a public key from my clipboard.
I cannot find one.

Jackson, that should be possible already. If you visit a webpage with a key in text form, just copy (cmd + c) and then select GPG Keychain Access and paste (cmd + v). That should import the key no further action necessary.
Doesn't that work for you? Which version of GPG Keychain Access are you using?

After updating again, it works fantastically! Thank you very much! :)

Perfect. Might be a fix you did not have previously. Glad it's working now. :)
