GCP Web Console Update: Removed Ability to Copy SSH keys and connect via gcloud cli

Google seems to have updated their web console, removing the ability to "copy ssh key for gcloud cli" when trying to ssh into a GCE (Compute Engine) instance. I was wondering how I can now access this pop up which gives you the ability to copy and paste the full key needed to ssh into the running instance?

Can you provide the steps on how to get to the said pop up "copy ssh key for gcloud cli"? The closest to it that I can see on the GCP web is "open using private SSH keys" and based on the official Release notes on Compute Engine, there are no recent UI updates. - Alex G
The steps from the Web UI were as follows: Compute Engine => VM Instances => Connect SSH => (Here there was 5 or 6 options and one of them was ~= "copy and paste cli for gcloud") - user11235813

It turns out google simply moved the command off the list of options when viewing a list of instances. If you select an instance and it view its ssh options from there the "View Gcloud Command" is still there.
