Support for the global keyboard shortcuts (like Command-O) in the i
OS app. This is particular useful on the iPad.

This seems like a really large oversight, but there’s no keyboard commands on iPad. I can’t think of another complex productivity app that lacks them, but certainly one so command driven should include them. Is this a major upgrade? It makes working on it really frustrating.

Ditto for Android. I use "Hacker's Keyboard", and there are many other keyboards and methods that support the ctrl key. While I can use Ctrl-B for bold, Ctrl-I for italic etc., the commands like Ctrl-o which are supposed to bring up a window don't seem to work.

Another idea would be to instead have a gesture or ui element represent the Ctrl key, e.g. two-finger tap anywhere or an icon somewhere.

As a workaround, you could try installing as a PWA (not totally sure this would work on iOS since due to Apple's authoritarianism Chrome on that platform is basically just a different wrapper for Safari, and while Safri and only Safari does support PWAs, guess is that they test that way less than Chrome). This does work on Android phone but some popup windows are too big. But that's likely user fixable via Stylish and not too hard for devs to fix.
