SFTP 2.50 auth using keys via KeePass and KeeAgent plugin

Hi,
thanks for the SFTP 2.50 plugin. It's great you can finally SCP from TC and it's even greater to be able to authenticate using public/private keys.

I love authenticate to linux servers using Public/Private key pairs. What I really dislike, is storing the keys on local storage.

One of my friends advised recently, I should check KeeAgent plugin for KeePass. This was a game changer.
I can finally securely store the key pairs in KeePass database and still be able to use the keys with some of my tools like console, WinSCP (local key agent - agent-fw) or Putty and use the public key with ease.

Is it possible to make SFTP plugin work with KeeAgent plugin?

TC currently only supports Pageant for storing public/private keys. What's the problem with storing the key encrypted? TC will ask for the password of the key, and you can even store it in the TC password manager.
