Keyboard shortcut support for Mobile on iPad

Hello there,


I am a long term user and also Alpha beta tester of CO mobile, this is a really great OTG (on-the-go) editing app on my iPad when I am doing location shooting, it cuts a lot of weight from my equipments list without needing a MacBook (for tethering), I also got myself a iPad magic keyboard for moblie work too; but I found out that the shortcut key (from Capture One desktop) is not functional on iPad app, what I use mostly is rating my picture with number key 1-5 for stars, "Y" for a quick preview from before and after, also "Command + C/V to copy and paste my editing from previous photo to the next selection, also command+z for undo... I am not sure if there is a keyboard setting for CO mobile that I missed, if not I really hope will bring this into Capture One Mobile too.

Thanks
KEN.L

    Agree with Ken - adding keyboard support would be a huge improvement. Being able to undo incorrectly starring an image or an exposure change would be brilliant with keyboard shortcuts.

    Speed edit keys (eg. Q for exposure) with click and drag would make this app so much more functional when using the Magic Keyboard.

    Hoping this can be added in the near future! Sessions is a massive improvement and really hoping to be able to turn my iPad great portable tethering / editing device with capture one.
