No. See my message.

Not necessary since (almost) all key servers synchronize their data 
bases. (Those key servers not doing so are not worth using.)

One way to do it is clicking on Show Details, double clicking on the key

the typed text (to paste the key ID), pressing Enter.

Not very convenient, but probably the fastest way to do it.
