It wasn't *that* hard, just not what I expected. :)

When you get into the edit-key menu you can do 'uid *' (or specifically select the uids you want to update, if not all). Then update the expiry.

Then also do 'key *' (or specifically select the subkeys you want to update). Then you can update the expiry for the subkey(s).

The thing that I found unexpected is that even if you do both 'uid *' and 'key *' you can still only update the expiry for one or the other, apparently whichever one of those you executed last.
