You can highlight the key from "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----" to "-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----", then right click, then "Services", then "OpenPGP: Import Key". >> I am having trouble finding my public key [...] I wonder if that's the only >> way You can click somewhere in a text field (e.g. while writing a mail in Mail.app), then click on "OpenPGP: Insert my key". These are GPGServices[1] functions that are included in the installer. You might have to enable them in your keyboard preferences first.
