This is the same as -k -e -y -r -i -n -g - thus you are asking for a key
lising and encryption ...  - Use two dashes.

Back to the fingerprint problem: For historic reasons --fingerprint acts
as a command if no other command has been given but similar to
--with-fingerprint if a command has been given.  Thus it works if you
put it into gpg.conf and use an explicit command.  However if you want
to use gpg's default operation (decrypt/verify) it will instead to a key
listing with fingerprints.
