Description

It would be nice if KeyBase appeared on the share menu in macOS, so that it's easy to send things to KeyBase chat.

For example, here:

The list of sharing extensions appears in the System Preferences, so I'm guessing this requires an extension to be installed somewhere.

Not a huge priority, but would make collaboration a bit smoother.
