I was was using gpg --gen-key
till I got to enter the passphrase where I get:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────â”Â
│ 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.
command-line gpg gpg-agent pinentry

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.
Esc
does nothing here.
