### Description
Forum discussion: https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/get-key-by-name/17901
Kubo lets the user create keys by name `ipfs key gen ` but currently the only way to get a public key given its name is to parse the list of keys output by `ipfs key list -l`.
The idea of the feature would be to allow the user to retrieve the public key by name with something like `ipfs key get --name `.
