What performance issue do we need to solve?

e.g. memory consumption, storage read/write times, React native bridge concerns, inefficient React component rendering, etc.

When debugging mobile when you are attempting to retrieve client-side logs, you can isolate the logs with the highest context and least noise by using the four-finger tap gesture and enabling at the very moment you need to.

There is no such method of isolating these logs immediately on web and desktop, which means to gather important logs you need to navigate to the Troubleshoot menu and add a bunch of noise and by navigating through the stack add another command which resolves the problematic command you wanted to debug in the first place.

What is the impact of this on end-users?

List specific user experiences that will be improved by solving this problem e.g. app boot time, time to for some interaction to complete, etc.

This will allow our internal team to debug web issues with the same precision and reliability as mobile.

List any benchmarks that show the severity of the issue

Please also provide exact steps taken to collect metrics above if any so we can independently verify the results.

Proposed solution (if any)

Please list out the steps you think we should take to solve this issue.

Add a keyboard shortcut that opens the debug page like we have on mobile:
