remove short and long key IDs and always use fingerprint and optimize fingerprint display UI
Reported by steve | August 16th, 2016 @ 05:00 PM | in 1.3.3b2 (closed)
Using short IDs is becoming a bigger problem by the day. Let's use fingerrpint in all locations when identifying a key.
With GnuPG 2.1 listing of keys shows the fingerprint.
