client: pgp export doesn't work if you have multiple keys
If I run keybase pgp export when I have multiple keys,
the command fails with
â–¶ WARNING Found several matches:

There is no way to specify a key.

Upon further inspection of the code, it appears that if you use the --query option and specify a key (with an exact match, not just a prefix) export works. The documentation displayed on --help could be improved to specify this. Closing the issue in any case.

This is still undocumented as far as I can see. Other commands just have a -k to select the key.. that would be the most obvious solution here.. I'd argue this should be reopened (but among the 1100+ open issues that's probably irrelevant..)
For those wanting the exact command: keybase pgp export --query YOURHASHHERE
