Support for displaying TOTP keys as QR code (for scanning with a mobile app e.g.) #764

This is not an issue but a feature request.
keepassxc supports TOTP keys, which is wonderful!

Being able to use it to generate and back-up the seeds is great. What is missing is the possibility to display a seed (TOTP key) as a QR code ready to be scanned by your favourite TOTP app (e.g. google authenticator, freeotp, etc).

Expected Behavior

  • right click an entry previously set-up for TOTP
  • "timed one time password" -> show QR code
  • opens a windows with the TOTP key encoded as QR code

Current Behavior

Currently if one wants to do the same one has to export the seed and generate a scannable QR code using some other tool, or worse, manually type the seed into the target app.

Context

I use keepassxc for generating TOTP values, but also for having a back up of the seeds in case I need to restore them on another device (mobile app e.g.).
