Description
Greetings!
My public key export is about 1300 lines, which is a bear to copy/paste. It would be useful to be able to upload a file instead of pasting in the entire key, especially since it turns out that my scrollback buffer is only 1000 lines...
(Very minor request, may be a duplicate, I didn't really check; if so, sorry.)

Research direction
