Make keyboard shortcuts available on a mobile

[fredpallesen]

I can edit on my mobile, but I can not get my keyboard unless I click to edit, so I can not use [1]...[6] or [p] etc.

Could this be made available somehow on a mobile / tablet device?

I've done a few experiments and almost got it working but it seems that a direct approach won't work. Keyboards on mobile devices behave differently from their desktop counterparts - they don't send raw keycodes but instead they buffer text being edited and replace it on various occasions (depending on the system, keyboard and version of the keyboard) - case for Android is here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=118639 . Sometimes they behave in a way called "dumb IME" - only then keys can be intercepted in a standard manner. There is no way to check if keyboard is a dumb IME or ask it to behave like such.

Once more pressing features are done, the way mobile will be implemented is going to rely on gestures (dragging, swiping, long-pressing and tapping) for most common actions (swapping, deleting, editing and changing todo-states) and a toolbar with the less common ones.

I'm leaving the issue open.
