I've just intalled the former.  I leave the setting of
`widget-button-click-moves-point' up to users since other Elisp programs
do not bind this variable.

Well, I think this behaviour not feasible for some reason.  First, there
is no concept of "selected key" in epa-key-list-mode.  If there are a
couple of key (say AAAAAA and BBBBBB), you select them consequently, and
you will see two buffers named "*Key*AAAAAA" and "*Key*BBBBBB".

Second, I have never heard of any way to catch the event which "changes
to another buffer" (perhaps impossible).
