Hey August!

> How is the " <Esc>> :read !gpg --version�" implemented?

That is a vim (text editor) command.  The <Esc> part brings vim into command mode, while the : takes you to the bottom line where you issue the command - usually save and exit :wq  but in this case :read or :r - and then the ! command which is drop to shell and run 'gpg --version'.  Much better than cutting and pasting methinks.

We don't need any stinkin' mouse ... unless of course you're stuck in GUI hell.
