This seems really cool. I use Secretive and would like to switch to this native solution. The one thing holding me back is that I like that Secretive allows you to create keys that don't require TouchID, yet still notifies you when they are used.

I use an external keyboard, so reaching for the fingerprint reader isn't as easy as it would be if I just used the internal keyboard. Fine, ControlMaster is a good compromise. Except when git signing (every commit) is a requirement, you have to touch the reader every, single, time. That's fine when making routine commits, not so when rebasing. Ideally, I could tell the SecureEnclave to notify me, but don't require biometrics for the next 30 seconds or so, but since that's not a thing, that I'm aware of, I'd at least like to know when my git signing key is being used.
