feat: ability to import/export IPNS key #2345

@SgtPooki

Description

@SgtPooki

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Users cannot import/export keys easily, and have to use the CLI.

Describe the solution you'd like

We should provide both an import and export button in Settings - IPNS Publishing Keys, next to rename/remove.

When a user imports/exports a key, we should accept/export both .key files and base64 if possible.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Users currently have to run CLI commands to do this, e.g. ipfs key export <name>
