Can we a link that has the key info embedded as query parameters that apps can intercept when the user clicks on it? Again this will make adding keys on mobile devices much easier for the user. Please make the mobile users happy!

Like http://supporttest.eveonline.com/api/Key/CreatePredefined/9830414/150145436/false ?
More like adding this link in the Actions section:
[<a href="http://supporttest.eveonline.com/api?keyID=1&vCode=SOSECRETYOUCANTKNOW">Install</a>]
This will allow third-party apps to intercept this link when the user clicks (with confirmation from the user of course). If you add this link to the test site I will update Aura and show you how it will work.

CCP Stillman, Any word on getting that link added? The biggest complaint I have with Aura is API key entry. Please add this feature.

Discussed this with Elerhino. Sounds like a good idea. We'll see what we can do!
You rock!

I know you guys are busy but can you please add that install link. You will greatly simply mobile entry. I should even go as far as say that this is a must before you deploy this API since you remove the "UserID:" and "API Key:" text from the page. Users can no longer just select a large block of text and return to my app. PLEASE just add the link!

We have actually looked into this but we need a bit more information as to how exactly to implement this. So you need a link for every key in the list, each link can go anywhere, it just needs to have the keyID and vCode parameters, right? We only want this to show up on mobile devices so we're wondering if it would suffice to add a parameter on the overview page or if we'd need to have a mobile device detection.
For each key a new link in the Actions section. That is for each key you would have [Update][Delete][Install]. The link can be anything as long as it has ?keyID=XXX&vCode=YYY appended on it. If you don't want the link to go anywhere you can create a custom scheme (i.e. eve://api.eveonline.com/?keyID=XXX&vCode=YYY). When clicked on the desktop or mobile browser this will do nothing if there is no url handler installed. If there is url handler installed, whether it is the desktop or mobile device, (google 'installing url handlers' on how to do this on windows) it will prompt the user asking them to launch the application. The application can the parse the query parameters and install the key with just one click from the user!
I do not see the need to limit this to mobile devices. First is that mobile detection won't always work because of how tablet browsers present themselves. Secondly EVEMon/EVEHQ/EFT could use this method as well.

This page has a example of the link: http://aura.aideronrobotics.com/test.html
When clicked it does nothing. I can register to handle that scheme (eve) and that host (api.eveonline.com) in Aura. I will get launched with the full URL and I can parse out the parameters.
