(OP)
How to design the retaining wall with keys?
- should the soil active pressure and surcharge load below footing to bottom of key be considered?
- has anyone designed the footing with 2 keys? if so, can i use the soil passive pressure at both keys for sliding?

RE: retaining wall with keys
Is this a flood wall?
Generally active pressures to not apply to keys;
keys typically resist sliding,
but may be modified to increase resistance to overturning and increase the length of seepage paths.
Multiple keys may have overlapping zones of horizontal influence,
and the passive resistance should be calculated accordingly.
