I have two openpg keys, but that doesn't allow me to choose the one I want to use.
Balsa uses the "From:" address to find the key. Presumably you have a different address for each of your keys, so the simple solution would be to create a separate identity for each address. Otherwise, we'd need a way to attach a separate "signing address" to the message being created, and a UI for setting it, which seems like a much more complicated solution.

Also, that could be complemented with an option to choose specific keys for the filters, because you probably don't sign all your emails with the same key; some need a key only shared with close people.
That might be feasible, although again it would require some new internal structures and some new UI to implement it. Why not just sign all messages sent using the identity that you use for important messages?
