Description
After creating an NWC connection, there's no way to view or copy the connection string again. If you need to re-enter the connection string in another app or device, you're forced to create a new connection.
Use Case
- I set up an NWC connection and added it to my mobile wallet
- Later, I want to add the same connection to a desktop app or browser extension
- I can't copy the existing connection string - I have to create a new one
This leads to:
- Proliferation of duplicate NWC connections
- Confusion about which connection is which
- Unnecessary connection management overhead
Proposed Solution
Add a "Copy Connection String" button or option to existing NWC connections:
- Show a "Copy" icon/button next to each connection in the list
- Clicking it copies the full
nostr+walletconnect://... URI to clipboard
- Optionally show the connection string in a modal (with copy button)
Security Consideration
The connection string contains the secret, so consider:
- Requiring re-authentication before revealing
- Showing a warning that the string should be kept private
- Adding an optional "hide connection strings" setting for shared screens
Benefits
- Reuse existing connections across multiple apps/devices
- Fewer duplicate connections to manage
- Better user experience for multi-device setups
