Feature Request: Desktop application UI to work with PGP #18971

❤️ Keybase team To make it easier for non-technical users to work with PGP encryption functionality of Keybase, it would be great to add PGP encrypt/decrypt capability to Desktop UI. At the moment, one have to direct users to open their terminals and use cli commands, which is somewhat frightening to less technical users.

keybase pgp decrypt -i encrypted_file.txt.asc

Encryption and decryption was implemented as shown here: https://keybase.io/blog/crypto

In the other hand the UI version only supports Saltpack, thus is incompatible almost anything but Keybase and Keybase based tools... although it's incompatible even with https://keybase.io/encrypt.

Would be great if a "Use the almost 30 year old PGP instead of the shiny new Saltpack" checkbox was added to the GUI. If it's too long it can be just "Use PGP".
