🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the gks-qrcode tool pops open an X window — yes, a real graphical window, we are not living in the terminal caves for this one — and inside that window it displays the QR code for the key.

which key though?? the key that's associated with the GPG key ID you hand it as a parameter. that's your <keyid>, bestie. you give it the ID, it gives you the QR code, the two of you are literally in sync fr fr. 🫶

goals: scan the QR code, get the key. ✨ obsessed. 🌸
