There currently is only a console command that might be interesting to you ...
help wallet_import_keyhotee

the account name is registered i.e. reserved for you as you already created a private/public key pair in keyhotee
Ou just need to import your key into the client .. thats it....

Also note that BTSX accounts are all lower case. So if your Keyhotee ID is Steve your BTSX account would be steve. However it requires the capitalized version on the command line.
