iPad
Additional Information:
The problem happens with official Apple magic keyboards attached to Apple mobile devices.
The problem doesn’t happen in macOS. The problem may be limited to iPadOS. Likely iOS impacted by the same mobile gap as well.
Plenty of other standard hotkeys work for other iPad applications, such as Command + C (Copy), Command + V (Paste), Command + X (Cut), Command + L (focus Location bar), Command + Q (Quit), etc.
There were earlier reported issues for this and many other Brave quirks, but those stupid policy bots keep closing them before any real resolution ever occurs. I don’t expect any fix, I expect this thread to suffer a similar demise.
