Nostr Wallet Connect, if I’m recalling correctly. How it connects your wallet to Nostr clients is a mystery to me, though.

Like most things on Nostr, it uses relays. 😉
It includes an authentication string that's uniquely linked with your wallet, and a relay specification that's the relay the wallet uses to toss wallet commands. Once you attach that connect string to your client, the auth string allows the client to access your specific wallet. When you zap someone, it sends a command to your wallet through the relay specified in the connect string. The wallet executes the send transaction, and then closes out the transaction which let's the client know the zap was successful. The client then displays its zap indicator letting the user know their zap was successful.
Thank you SLCW, NWC so well explained
Question, if you lost your key could you just zap it all to another account?
Which key are you talking about?
To my primal Wallet. I'll admit, when I installed primal I didn't pay attention, for various reasons, one being I'm not long for this world. I'm assuming I got a private key when I installed? If so, I wasn't and aren't concerned about it but I did wonder the above, if I could just rezap my zaps to another account. Or am I totally conflating things?
It sounds like you are conflating Zaps with your keys.
Zaps are bitcoin on the lightning network, integrated into nostr.
Your keys consist of a key pair, public and private keys - npub and nsec, respectively.
Short answer: No. you cannot use zaps to migrate your keys to another account. Zapping yourself would only be paying yourself some bitcoin.
Nostr is a protocol. Bitcoin is a different protocol. Zaps are an integration of the two.
That’s some 🎷 y #nerdstr my friend 🤣🫂✌️✨
It's the "other stuff" 😁
