I just type gpg + ENTER.  Apparently that is an option.  ;)

I start to type my message, but there is no obvious way to save it.

Nope.  The gpg editor does not dump the contents that I have in clipboard.

line by line basis did anything either.

The gpg editor is a mystery to me.

Doesn't your linux version have the live editor feature too?
