A feature I like in the Affinity Desktop apps is the ability to press a keyboard shortcut once to equip a tool, and then press the same shortcut again to switch back to the previously used tool.

This is handy for switching between the brush and eraser tools, especially with drawing styluses that have only one re-mappable pen button to switch tools with.  

It's also nice that the desktop apps allow you to assign the same shortcut to multiple tools so that you can cycle through them by repeatedly pressing the same shortcut.  

And the desktop apps in general have more standard shortcuts like increase/decrease brush size, equip different selection tools, and more. While the iOS apps seem to be missing these features as far as I can tell from the V1 versions of them I'm currently using.  

Granted, one could use the double tap on the apple pencil feature to switch between two different tools, but I currently do not have an apple pencil that allows for double tap. So I've been relying on my iPad's attachable keyboard or macro-pad accessory to switch between tools as I prefer that over using the touch screen.

In summary, I hope the same shortcuts and shortcut related features can made available across both the desktop and iOS apps and thank you for your consideration.
