Description

I successfully added the f shortcut in my app by adding:

- (NSArray<UIKeyCommand *> *)keyCommands {

	UIKeyCommand *flexToggleCommand = [UIKeyCommand keyCommandWithInput:@"f" modifierFlags:kNilOptions action:@selector(onFLEXToggleCommandTrigger)];

	return @[flexToggleCommand];
}

- (void)onFLEXToggleCommandTrigger {

	[[FLEXManager sharedManager] toggleExplorer];
}

in AppDelegate.m, but I don't know how to add all of them directly in FLEX, hence I created an issue instead of a PR.

Research direction
Investigate FLEX's current handling of keyboard events, especially under Catalyst. Look at FLEXManager's implementation and how it could register global key commands. The issue points to adding shortcuts directly in FLEX, similar to how the user added it in AppDelegate. Check comments for any maintainer suggestions or additional details. Consider implementing UIKeyCommand in FLEX's main view controller or app delegate substitution.
