:information_source: I use Obsidian Mobile on iPad with mouse and keyboard.

This BR is simple to explain: its NOT possible to copy/duplicate a group/node on Obsidian Mobile using these two approaches:
→ Keyboard Hotkey Mod+C Mod+V
→ Commands Copy Paste

:mag_right: Using the Command Palette you could see that inside a Canvas File we dont have the Copy Paste commands.

Environment

:gem: Obsidian 1.4.2
:computer: iPadOS 16.3

:sos: This BR was generated testing Obsidian Mobile in a Vanilla Vault without any plugin installed.

Steps to Reproduce

1- Open a Canvas File
2- Selecet a Node
3- Try to hit the Copy Paste hotkeys
or
3- Open Command Palette and search for the Copy Paste command

Just reproduced this: indeed, there’s no way to copy or paste on Canvas on iOS at the moment.

+1 to this. I’m using android 12 and is not possible there as well
I think this is a very valuable functionality missing in the mobile version

Related with Send to canvas and
Mobile: Is there a way to copy a part of a canvas file into another one?

Will this be fixed anytime soon?
Not sure if this is an OS limititation or an easily implementable feature, but it’s def a very important feature to properly use it on Ipad
I would even consider this a bug rather than a feature
