Click on New to open a new (blank) Document tab.

Right click on your key in the right hand pane; click on Append Selected Key(s) to Text.

Your public key will then appear in the left hand pane, where it can be copied to the clipboard and pasted wherever you want it to go.

Hope this helps.

I hope you're not uploading the same key that you use to do illegal things. Keep separate keys.

One would hope that it wouldn't be necessary to point that out.. but it is an important point nonetheless. Well said.
