Description

  • It would be convenient to have a mechanism to duplicate a redis key (of any type) into a different key name
  • Bonus: if I could right click a KEY, and it could generate the SET command instructions for it, would be useful during development and playing around

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing key context-menu actions in RedisInsight and the Redis command handling used by the key view. Check how the supported Redis data types are represented; completion means duplicating a key of any type under a chosen name, while generating SET instructions can remain an optional follow-up.
