for modern gnupg, i think what you want is:

   gpg --quick-gen-key 'alice <alice at example.biz>' ed25519

and then, taking the generated fingerprint as $FPR, do:

   gpg --quick-add-key $FPR cv25519 encrypt

this is documented in the gpg(1) man page.

Normally, i'd just have suggested to use just quick-gen-key's
"futuredefault", but i just ran into:

   https://dev.gnupg.org/T3655

while testing, so i'm giving you the more complicated version here..
