Radial input with virtual keyboard

Open Talleyrand-34 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I know this is not the place to ask but i don't find a more suitable place.

FEATURE REQUEST

Use joysticks as input keyboard in order to type faster.

as a wheel where the left chooses the layout and the right chooses the letter to input

Hello @Talleyrand-34, you've described configuring the Steam Input settings of a game to have one analog input be a radial input with a set of mode switches, and for the other analog input to be configured to be a radial menu with the keyboard inputs you want, one radial menu set per mode with the set of keyboard inputs you want on the radial wheel in that mode. This should be within the preexisting flexibility of the controller configuration settings.

How to open a radial menu in desktop mode as default virtual keyboard?

I don't know if this is the good place for this, but I am interested in this feature, eventually even to develop it. Do we have some documentation on the service used by SteamOS on the steam deck for the virtual keyboard ?
