Request: ability to add blocks by typing slash+block type - such as /image

[ericamQA]

Expected behavior

In the browser, you can add an image block by typing /image - when you do an image block is added to the page or post. https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/image-block/#add-an-image-block

Actual behavior

In the mobile app, if you type /image nothing happens. You just have a paragraph block with the text "/image" inside it.

This is especially inconvenient since there isn't a search field when adding a block in the mobile app. You have to scroll and find the block type you're trying to add.
