It would be better if it was just possible to upload the key file. I  
found it non-obvious how to get a key registered. The whole process  
is already pretty involved, so reducing the key registration to a  
file upload dialog (along with a default upload path of ~/.ssh/)  
would make it a whole lot easier.
