> Ctrl+P to print. Works on mobile too.

There’s something funny about this statement on a description of a key bind cheat sheet. I can’t seem to find ctrl on my phone and I think it may be cmd+p on mac.

Technically you could use a keyboard with any modern phone, so it’s not “wrong”, it’s just… extremely unlikely anyone would ever do it.
True. I had an iPhone with a broken digitizer so I just plugged a USB keyboard and mouse into it and it worked great.
If your workstation setup is built around a screen with USB ports, to which you attach peripherals and optionally daisy-chain with other monitors, and then expose a single USB-C cable to plug your laptop in, there are very good chances this will work out-of-the-box with any Samsung flagship released in the last ~decade or so.

(Yes, I occasionally do it on the go, whether at home or at work; typing on mobile sucks.)

You can install "Hacker's Keyboard" on Android, it does have ctrl key.
Printing is possible on mobile, but I wouldn't go as far to say that it "works": https://ctrlv.link/8CWy
