ctrl+1 and ctrl+2. Buuuut it doesn't work when a game is running :(
I've considered learning python to try and write a plugin that could help with this... but I don't imagine I'll be ready with that any time soon as I basically have no programming knowledge.
This is one of those weird SteamOS issues that I can't figure out why it hasn't been addressed yet. It seems like such an obvious issue.
Omitted because of possible conflict with common game inputs? If someone uses a m+kb input, sets hold to crouch and then changes weapons it would open the keyboard.
That's the only "reason" I can think of, other than plain just forgot
I mean.. the default keys work just fine which is why it’s so odd. I know what the issue is, I just don’t know why they can’t fix it. The issue is that currently games have priority over inputs. That’s especially true with keyboard and mouse and I know this because other things also break when loading games.
I had a problem with pillars of eternity for instance. Keyboard and mouse work fine in overlay. Boot up the game and they break. But switch from the dongle mode to Bluetooth mode on the mouse and it works. So something is very wrong with the input for that stuff when inside of games. It’s almost like they’re switching drivers?
Weird. I was just expecting some odd key combination not that it isn't implemented at all.
I guess I have to keep a controller near to access the menu then as a workaround.
I think I could help you with that, if you don't mind me taking away the novelty of you coding your own solution, which is where I get my kick
Sure, if you know a way to do it!
