   > The issue is that none of the secrets backend actually suports 
`list_variable_keys`, and I am not sure if they should - currently the 
limitation of Airflow is that it can only show variables in the UI that are 
defined in DB - and it does not list any of the variables or connections from 
remote backends - becuase the contract for the secret backend is to get the key 
from it - none of the "contracts" in those backend specify listing variables or 
connection.
   > 
   > It's possible that we might want to change it and have some (or all) of 
the backends to actually support listing keys - but that is a bigger change and 
I think if we decide to do it - it should at least be discussed in the devlist 
- where we could make decision about the scope of it and how it would impact 
exposing keys also in Airflow UI and CLIs.
   
   Yea, that makes sense. As I was working on this I realized it's not as 
simple as just adding a way to "list keys", hence why I stated all my doubts in 
the description lol.
