It seems there is no standard proper way to store private keys.

I have been using AGE [0]

And I really don't like the idea of having the keys stored in the home directory in plain text.

There is also a risk of losing the keys if my laptop is damaged or gets stolen.

Is there a proper tool for storing encryption keys?

if you're referring to SSH keys, you can use something like 1Password which stores them encrypted and syncs them in the cloud, so you keep them even if you lose your laptop
