Hey Questers are you excited for upcoming Android 14 OS? 

Android 14 is working on a massive new list of physical keyboard shortcuts. This new list includes a total of 34 shortcuts for 29 separate functions, compared to the 13 we see today on Android 13. Some of the new shortcuts include:

Access notification shade: Search + N

Lock screen: Search + L

Pull up Notes for quick memo: Search + Ctrl + N

Split screen with current app on right: Search + Ctrl + Right Arrow

Split screen with current app on left: Search + Ctrl + Left Arrow

These new shortcuts are designed to make it easier for users to access and control their devices using a physical keyboard. They are also a welcome addition for users who prefer to use a physical keyboard over a touchscreen.

The new list of shortcuts is only available for large-screen devices on Android 14 right now, but it is expected to be rolled out to all devices in a future update.

Here is a complete list of the new keyboard shortcuts in Android 14:

Access notification shade: Search + N

Split screen with current app on right: Search + Ctrl + Right Arrow
