We've moved this issue to the Backlog milestone. This means that it is not going to be worked on for the coming release. We will reassess the backlog following the current release and consider this item at that time. To learn more about our issue management process and to have better expectation regarding different types of issues you can read our Triage Process.

Not sure if this is the place, but I would love to have access to something like a
OnKeyboardPressed(object? sender, KeyPressedEventArgs e) Event (on desktop platforms at least), so that I could have any UI element listen to the keyboard.

For example to use as <Frame KeyBoardPressed="{Binding OnKeyboardPressed}" />
