I was was using gpg --gen-key till I got to enter the passphrase where I get:



┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Please enter Passphrase, │
│ │
│ Passphrase: ________________________________________ │
│ │
│ <OK> <Cancel> │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘


After some digging I found out this came from gpg-agent which in turn uses pinentry.



All I can do here is enter passphrase (which works fine) and press tab, which makes the blinking cursor disappear. But how to I select <ok> or <cancel> in pinentry?



gpg was installed on osx via brew



When I try CTL+C I get: gpg: signal Interrupt caught ... exiting but can still continue typing a passphrase.

          With the cursor in the PIN entry area, pressing Enter will activate the “OK” button.



          Pressing Tab will highlight the “OK” button and then the “Cancel” button; pressing Enter with a button hightlighted will activate that button.
