Most importantly, after tapping on "copy" or "move", it doesn't stay in the current directory, but opens the Download folder instead. This means, if you wish to move items to a subdirectory of the currently viewed directory, you first have to manually navigate all the way back to the directory you were in before tapping on "copy" or "move".

Let the user decide. | The clipboard is not intended for long-term storage of course, but that's not an excuse for not giving the user the choice. Why not two hours? Why not one day?

If special character shortcuts are enabled, there is a shortcut for the backslash (<kbd>\</kbd>), but surprisingly not for the forward slash(<kbd>/</kbd>), a much more commonly used key. | If special character shortcuts are enabled, there is a shortcut for the backslash (<kbd>\</kbd>), but surprisingly not for the forward slash (<kbd>/</kbd>), a much more commonly used key. | ||
Additionally, it lacks reverse backspacing. Samsung's keyboard allows reverse backspacing using Shift+Backspace.
