Just a sanity check: am I correct in saying you can't access private keys of addresses in Sparrow?

Not sure for the software wallets, I never used one.

Definitely no private key available for hardware wallet, just the xpub(s)

Hmm good question; let me check

I did verify I can easily recover various mixdepths from my #JoinMarket wallet in Sparrow

I can confirm I did not find a way to view or export priv key from specific address

Can only import one via dropdown menu in 'Tools'

'Sweep Private Key'

Did you try this? Does it sweep to a new pubkey of your opened seed or does it really import the pub/priv keypair of an external seed?

So far for me only imports and exports whole seed. Not specific address

Yes, Sparrow does not make that available to the user.

If, for some reason, you want to see a private key, you'd have to import the seed elsewhere.
