The current devkey hassles should be resolved in 9.1, when we will add
a Security module to the control panel, including a section for dev
keys.  This new interface will explain what a key is, offer a 'Request
key" button, indicate progress, and automatically handle the
installation of the new key when complete.

This patch still sounds useful in general, though...every activity
should support drag'n'drop copy and paste from the clipboard.  Does
yours do  both directions?
