Good idea. I've added it to v3 of the patch. The command is
--default-sig-class, and it takes a number from 0-3. If you set a
default sig class in your options file, you can use
--no-default-sig-class to override it back to 0. The menu that pops
up when key signing will reflect the new default.
Also added:
* 'If you don't know what the right answer is, answer "0"' message
* minor fix to notations - they should be printed as UTF8.
