That makes a lot of sense, thanks for clearing this up for me. I was hoping to have a way to reliably configure which GPG ID it prompts me about first, since I would like to have a PIN activated smartcard first (if plugged in), then fall back to another on device key, with a longer password.
Is there a way to get GPG to do this? Thanks again.
