Description

When trying to select a private key in my keyring the available private keys are shown with keybase pgp select. However, as no information is provided about which private keys have been revoked or expired or the creation date, I had to use a trial and error approach to find out which was my current private key.

Research direction

Start at the implementation of the keybase pgp select command and inspect how available private keys are presented. Determine which key metadata is already available for creation, expiration, and revocation status. Done means the selection output identifies these details clearly enough to distinguish the current private key.
