  gpg --fingerprint

is much easier to remember and is actually one of the oldest gpg
commands.  However, the old human readable format for fingerprints is
not easy to c+p and thus the default for "gpg -k" has been changed to:

pub   ed25519 2018-09-28 [SC] [expires: 2027-01-31]
      AEA84EDCF01AD86C4701C85C63113AE866587D0A
uid           [ultimate] wk at gnupg.org
[...]

Which makes it easy to c+p the fingerprint.

p.s.
FWIW, thre is yet another option to help read aloud the fingerprint:

$ gpg -k  --with-icao-spelling 085b107A
pub   ed25519 2018-09-28 [SC] [expires: 2027-01-31]
      AEA84EDCF01AD86C4701C85C63113AE866587D0A
      "Alfa Echo Alfa Eight Four  Echo Delta Charlie Foxtrot Zero
       One Alfa Delta Eight Six  Charlie Four Seven Zero One
       Charlie Eight Five Charlie Six  Three One One Three Alfa
       Echo Eight Six Six Five  Eight Seven Delta Zero Alfa"
