Orion for iOS currently does not have support for keyboard shortcuts on iOS. While this feature is also not included in some other applications, adding keyboard shortcuts would make it easier for users like me to use various features of the application even without touching the screen.

On other browsers (such as the DuckDuckGo browser), holding the command key displays the following keyboard shortcuts menu:

On the other hand, holding the command key while editing this feature request in this browser displays the following, and the keyboard shortcuts menu will not appear at all otherwise since there are no configured keyboard shortcuts outside of text editing.

I hope you would consider adding this feature to make the browser easier to use. Thank you for your consideration!

    Somehow missed this, Vlad, sorry. Here’s what I think are the most crucial. (Also yes, this is iOS - keyboard shortcuts should work across iOS. Using a keyboard with an iPhone is an edge case, but consistency is good.)

    Cmd+L - focus address bar
    Shift+cmd+[ - previous tab
    Shift+cmd+] - next tab
    Command+left arrow or command+[ - previous page
    Command+right arrow or command+ ] - next page
    Command+ R - Reload page
    Command + W - Close tab
    Shift + cmd + t - Reopen last closed tab/window
    Shift + cmd + r - Open Reader mode

    Cmd+number would be great to move between tabs, but not crucial for the first release.
    Command + - (minus) or Command + + (plus) - decrease/increase text size
    Command + 0 (zero) - reset text to 100%

    +1 from me. This is the main reason why I don't use Orion full time.

    Would be great to have these implemented. Seems like a fairly standard iPad os browser feature set.

    Thanks,!

    There is little (if any) support for keyboards on Orion for iPad. Things like Cmd+T to open a new tab, Cmd+R to reload, Cmd+L to jump to the navbar (all tested on Safari on iPad) would be huge gains.

      oldgalileo There is already an issue for this on the site, can you locate it so that I can merge this?

                Vlad Can I jump in at the juncture and...

                first, commend you on your implementation of keyboard shortcuts support on iPadOS!

                but also push back on this assumption big time. There are a few of us who use hardware keyboards with our iPhones, actually, and I was surprised/disappointed to notice that such support didn't directly carry over. I'm wondering... was this intentional?
