Is there anything in this listing that would allow me to quickly copy and paste
(e.g. double click and middle click) in order to further work with the key,
e.g. edit or encrypt to?
The short key id would probably do, but the "rsa2048/" prefix prevents me from simply double clicking it.
The fingerprint would probably be better to identify the key, but, similarly,
the spaces prevent me from selecting it easily.

I thought short keyids are dangerous and should not be used,
cf. <https://evil32.com/>.  If that's the case then it might be a good
idea to fade them out as much as possible.
