Feature request: display Ledger key connected to specific HD Path

[alexauroradev]

At the moment, NEAR CLI RS does not have the way to display the public key corresponding to a specific Ledger HD Path. However, this might be helpful, especially in cases when managing ledger keys of the existing contracts / accounts:

1. Alice and Bob are building the application together.
2. They want to improve the robustness of the application by deploying two Ledger full access keys to the smart contract account.
3. One of these keys is used by Alice while creating the account and deploying the contract.
4. Another one should be provided by Bob to Alice.
5. ???

Such functionality is usually missing for other protocols, so not limiting HD paths to "44'/397'/0'/0'/*'" may be appreciated by people who use other protocols, especially Aurora developers.

@alexauroradev Where would you expect to find this command?

It sounds like a good candidate for a dedicated near-ledger CLI, what do you think?

As a workaround, you can use add-key command:

near account add-key devhub.near grant-full-access use-ledger

It will ask for HD Path, and then in the further steps, it will create a transaction for you to sign where the public key will be printed.

@frol
The current menu of the near-cli-rs does not have a proper place for this command (and maybe other ledger-related commands in the future). The closest is account section.
Having a separate near-ledger CLI might be an option, but installing additional tools is a nightmare.

Can we somehow utilise extension zone? At the moment it's only self-update there. I think this might be a good option. And in the future there might be other hardware wallets there or some 3rd parties extensions for, for example, pre-running of txs to check the outcome... WDYT?

@alexauroradev We already have CLI extensions support, so when you install near-validator-cli-rs, it is automatically available as near validator subcommand: https://github.com/near-cli-rs/near-validator-cli-rs

We may consider adding extensions installing command in the future as well

[alexauroradev]

Is there any progress on this? Are you considering adding this feature to the NEAR CLI RS (or a separate extension) in the future?

[frol]

There is no capacity at the moment to address this feature request, sorry. I also cannot find a good place for this functionality in near-cli-rs, so a separate extension might be justified.

Also, old near-cli-rs 0.1.16 actually had "helpers" section:

./near-cli utils ledger-public-key

Consider installing the old version for the time being: https://github.com/near/near-cli-rs/releases/tag/0.1.16
