Store and Auto-fill OpenRouter API Key for Future Imports

Feature Request

When importing models from OpenRouter, I need to re-enter my OpenRouter API key every time I want to add a new model. However, OpenRouter only shows the API key once when it is generated, and if I haven't saved it somewhere, I can't recover it to use in the future. This makes the process difficult if I forget to store the key, since TypingMind does not remember it.

I would like TypingMind to securely save my OpenRouter API key after I enter it for the first time, and automatically use (or pre-fill) the same key whenever I import more models from OpenRouter. This would prevent me from losing access to my models if I lose the OpenRouter key, and make the import process much smoother.

Thanks for considering this improvement!

    We have already added official support for OpenRouter, so now you just need to enter your API key and enable the models you want to chat with:

    The OpenRouter import overall could use some more love. The current workflow each time a new model comes out is:

    1. Delete all models in TypingMind

    2. Delete old OpenRouter key

    3. Generate a new key

    4. Use it to import all models again, which breaks (well, not excatly, but still) existing chats with this warning:

      The custom model used for this chat is currently not available on your device. The default model Google: Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview will be used for future messages of this chat.

    i agree a better way to add new modles would be nice. there’s a way around it, just duplicate one of the other models imported from open router and edit the info to the new model you wana import.
