UX improvement [ for deleting keys ]

[ink-splatters]

Deleting a Key is not always easy, for some

Use case

because of practical need to regenerate keys quite frequently, I use kind of:

dd if=/dev/random bs=1 2>/dev/null count=8 | xxd -p | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'
67AE2C66FCF87F73

as you can imagine, typing this hex piece manually each time feels... unrewarding experience :)

Why an issue

Context Menu -> Delete action on the chosen key, requires you to type the key name.

While Cmd+V works and I'm happy about it: there is no obvious way to get the Key's Old Name via Secretive GUI.

I can imagine why this sort of Safety Net is there, but consistent behaviour of such "Safety Nets" across known apps is provide the ability to paste and you do that. But to be able to paste, one needs to copy from somewhere, first :)

Possible Solutions

• I guess it could be as easy to solve as pre-substituting the Old Key name upon showing, e.g. Rename Key dialog
• OR just allow copying Old Key name from the Label: "Type your new name for " (Rename Dialog)

You would make at least one person very happy :)

And maybe someone else, occasionally.
