An amazing addition would be to also help make use of additional device buttons (e.g. physical home and Bixby buttons on Samsung phones, virtual back-home-recent keys on ASUS, Alcatel and other devices).

Maybe we could use the well-known key shortcuts from other mobile operating systems like Android:

  • double press power button: Start camera
  • power button and volume down: Take sceenshot

I think there could be some more, but this are the most important ones

Probably we can't, because the power button is not a key modifier.
