I already got some comments in irc.

It has one button now. Some may prefer different buttons for different
actions, namely adding, replacing and removing. It should be easily done
and it was even in the original plan in the wiki page. However, it takes
space and may look messy. How frequently these actions are used? Is it
too much if it takes 4 clicks instead of 3? Do people find this feature
if there's only one button?

It's ugly if the keychooser happens to be just above the button and you
hover over the keychooser, opening the dropdown b/c/v selectors. I can't
imagine a good and easy way to help it. A footer instead of header was
proposed, but it's against normal conventions and would therefore affect
usability negatively, fixing only a visual inconvenience.

Any thoughts? It would be especially valuable if someone really used
this feature for a while and then commented. It would be nice to get rid
of rough edges before 2.5 but it's equally easy to change it later after
a longer period of testing. All the needed features are there already.
