Small Improvement Request For Hive Keychain
Hive Keychain, the widely accepted browser-based extension providing full wallet transactions and governance operations for Hive, underwent a significant upgrade not too long ago.
I've taken a good look at it and wrote about it at the time.
Since then I've obviously used it a lot. And while V2 generally is a big improvement over V1, one small thing could have been done in V1 but no longer in V2 after the interface was changed.
Problem Description
After you power up some HIVE, if you want to add that amount to one of your existing delegations, you need to use a calculator and add the two amounts - the amount that is available to delegate and the current delegation - and then manually write the total as the updated delegation amount. Besides the inconvenience, that is prone to errors. Even more, the two amounts are on two different pages (you don't see the available HP on the Outgoing page).
Solution
In V1 there was a max link or button you could click on that automatically added the two amounts.
In V2, it could be something like this:
The available HP should be listed on the Outgoing page as well, to be easier visible at all times.
A "max" link exists if you want to delegate to a new account, which is not already on the list of outgoing delegations:
Final Words
This is something I run into quite often. But I believe it's an operation widespread enough to justify tweaking the interface a bit to make room for a "max" link. What do you think, @stoodkev?

Love the linking.
Great job.

Thanks! I love linking. Great to have the glossary at hand to create a web of links.

Its not something Ive noticed until now. But i love keysigner!
Yeah, I love it too.
Of course, one could use PeakD to do what I described in the post.
There is a max available link on PeakD when you update delegations.
im mostly using peakd for wallet operations. Technical question for you: do you know how to request your "keys" when you have created a hive lite account by the leo app?
Nope. I haven't gone through the process and don't know what the procedure is. You can open a support ticket in their discord or ask in the general channel, maybe someone knows.
OK! Thanks Gadrian.
Yes, apparently everyone uses Peakd or Ecency, like me, for these actions. But I think a lot of people would be happy to do it in keychain.

@gadrian! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @stdd. (6/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
Somehow I got this routine to do the delegation from the keychain from the old version. But I will probably start using PeakD for that too. Right now it's definitely easier.

That sounds like it would be helpful. Thanks for bringing it up, Adrian. Hopefully, they will restore the function.

If they don't, there's always PeakD, where such an option exists.

Well actually, you can do this directly from the delegation page. Making a new delegation to the same delegatee is the same thing as editing a delegation.
Thanks for your answer! But that doesn't take into account the existing delegation to the delegatee. I mean you still have to manually add up the available HP and the current delegation, so that you know what amount to delegate to that account.
Oh, I get your point, this could be arranged, yes!
I think that is a decent feature to have and I have heard about many issues when it comes to delegating HP or tribe tokens. I don't really delegate mine out much so I haven't had this issue though

With the keychain or in general? I don't delegate tribe tokens from the keychain and I don't remember having other issues delegating HP with it.
I had now another look at the Keychain V2, they have so many other features that I never used, maybe I should do it more often. Wallet wise I've always used Peakd but things might change.
I understand your feature request and I hope you'll get it, it doesn't look like something very complicated to do.
Also, nice use of the glosarry, so neat and clean!
Voted on ListNerds!

Yep, in V2 there were added quite a few more features. I also use PeakD a lot, but sometimes I use the keychain, depending on how I got used, mostly.
Looks like we'll get the improvement, by the response I've got from the lead developer.
