You can edit the host and choose to use a specific keypair. It will ask for the
password when connecting if it isn't unlocked. Once it's unlocked, it will stay
in
memory.
The SSH agent part might be a duplicate of Issue 70.

OK, that works, but the option is pretty well hidden. (I didn't know about the
colors either.) Why do I have to associate a key with a particular host
though? The
key identifies *me*, not the host, and I'm the same person regardless of which
host I
use. It's typical to use the same key on lots of hosts.
ssh-agent functionality seems to already be there, sorta. I don't have to
unlock the
key again when I go out to the desktop.

You have to choose which key mainly because you have the ability to have
multiple
keys in ConnectBot (despite the fact that there is only one of you). Also it
doesn't
reveal information you don't want to (i.e., offering a public key of another
identity, perhaps).
I agree documentation is lacking.
