keyboard shortcuts for android

Stuff like Alt+D for input into the address bar and Ctrl+T for making a new tab. This would be really handy for Android tablets, or even when I occasionally connect my phone to a keyboard/docking station.

Oh yes. It's pretty annoying. I use my Android tablet sometimes with a keyboard and I am slowed down on a regular basis, because I used via muscle memory learned shortcuts and am always slightly confused why nothing happens.

Brave has this feature.

Support for keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+L/Alt+D, Ctrl+F, etc. is a huge QoL consideration when using tablets with physical keyboard attachments, as more and more people are doing.

I found these ideas related to this:

Could we maybe get some of these merged for better visibility?
