Ever since its appearance in Android Pie, I always consider 2 button navigation is a bad attempt by Google trying to play catch-up with the fad generated by the iPhone X. However, due to a bug with A13 QPR2 it had to be temporarily removed and many were not happy about this. So, 2 button navigation users, may I ask why do you prefer this method? To me it makes you do more for the same action whilst doesn't save any screen space.

Dedicated buttons for copy, paste, and undo would be amazing. I don't think Android has good support for undo though, it would be cool to undo accidental swipes like when you accidentally swipe away a notification, or if you accidentally tap the space around a dialog box and it disappears

Agreed! I've thought this for a while. It's crazy that iPhone still doesn't have a back button, and it blows me away that neither iOS nor Android have undo or redo.

Ios kinda does have undo via a shake but you could also say it's not discoverable, slow and awkward. No idea if Android has anything system and not app-lvl though.
