How to export PGP keys from thunderbird?
Thunderbird 140.7.0esr allows me to e-mail my OpenPGP public key to myself, but it doesn't seem to have any way for me to get access to my private key. I was wondering how to export keys? Thanks!

Thank you Christ1 for the suggestion. I never would have guessed that the File menu would be acting as a contextual menu, as this does not conform to any UI standard. I don't know of any other program that uses the File menu as a contextual menu like this. This is horrible user interface design. The right-click contextual menu provides no option to export the private key. Instead, the right-click contextual menu has been broken into two parts, with the part of the right-click contextual menu that should allow exporting the private key actually appearing in the File menu instead. It's amazing that a user interface with so many users can be so poorly implemented. Just amazing.

Open the OpenPGP Key Manager. Select the key to be exported. File - Export Public Key(s) To File
Alternatively, right-click a key - Export Public Key(s) To File
