PLEASE NOTE: Keyboard shortcuts are disabled in multiplayer

The keyboard shortcuts are deactivated in the multiplayer on purpose. The multiplayer has crossplay, which means PC players and mobile players play together. The shortcuts would be a big advantage for PC players and make it unfair for mobile players. Disabling shortcuts was a necessary compromise. The PC player base is not big enough to not have crossplay, so we have to mix the players and make it at least fair for everyone.
