When using a dash item on mobile, such as tabi or solar flare armour, it is difficult to double-tap the movement key, and I cannot do complex movements involving dashes that are trivial to complete on the desktop version. For this, I propose a dash hotkey. Usually unbound, players are able to bind it to a button on their touchscreen to dash with ease. Another use could be activating set bonuses, or some less relevant items to have dedicated hotkeys could be the gravity globe/potion (and unbinding it from UP) and recall potions/magic mirror, etc.
Another niche thing I would like to add to the mobile keybinding menu is the ability for slide-on, slide off buttons, and activate-on-release options. These would be advanced options specifiable per-button that allow complex manoeuvres to be performed with the same ease as other platforms. For example, setting quick mount to slide-off and jump to slide-on, and placing them side-by-side would allow for easier launching off minecart rails, by sliding your finger off one button and onto the other.
Finally, the ability to combine/seperate keybindings. For example, separating the mount key from the minecart one, or combining a certain loadout with a certain hotbar slot. The latter could be used for easier switching of class; your bow goes in one slot, your sword in another, an switching to that slot switches your loadout. Note that I am not suggesting automatic loadouts, rather having the same key do multiple functions.
Edit: added suggestion to activate set bonuses and moved it to mobile
Edit 2: @Dagan suggested a hotkey to toggle the movement joystick affecting smart cursor.
