signing key) there will be an entry for usage. This field can contain
the letters S, C, A, or E.
Using --edit-key is a bit cumbersome and --with-colons is hard to read.

You say you generated it with the --batch command, and go on to say you

Is it still possible and/or beneficial to use two separate subkeys
for signing and encrypting?

The default is an RSA-2048 primary key with certify[1] and sign abilities, and
