conditional config file entries (bound to e.g. sender and recipient keys)

Hello,

has there already been a discussion about it whether it would make sense to
have conditional entries in the gpg config file (like e.g. SSH for different
destinations)?

Depending on the key to which is encrypted, the key by which is signed and
maybe even the application which calls gpg different settings may be selected.
This is quite obvious with the policy url setting. If no single document
covers all keys then it is preferable to set this value in dependency of the
signing key.

Not to my knowledge.

Show me a use case. When would this be useful, and to whom? How are
these people currently being impacted by the lack of such a feature?

My response would be: You should write a wrapper for this feature. This
is the way tools should be used under Unix (and Windows).

Salam-Shalom,
