For example, you don't need to use ssh-add every time after starting
the agent. You do it only once and gpg-agent will store the entire
key on disk and no just in memeory as ssh-agent does.
Is it possible to control/disable this behavior? I prefer to keep my

Make a ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/ a symlink to your USB disk.

Yep, it's good to do updatedb regularly :)
Anyway, it seems the design of gpg-agent is not compatible with what I
wanted. With ssh-agent, I have a always-running service (supervised

My talk about ssh-agent may have induced you in error. My fault.

Isn't there some way to do for gpg-agent what ssh-add does for

I'm trying to use a unique gpg-agent listening at a standard socket.
Unless I'm missing something, the only way I have to provide passphrases
to gpg-agent is to try some job (signing something, or whatever) and
then give

No, gpg-agent works different.
If you want to preset a passphrase, you may do so using

judging by the contents of
