The one thing I took away from it was that the Xbox-button acts as alt tab. I WANT THE SAME FROM MY STEAM DECK IN DESKTOP MODE!

But in Desktop mode the Steam button does absolutely nothing while a game is running.

I guess you could remap them in desktop mode? I haven't tried but it should be possible.

No, you cannot change the mapping of the Steam and ... buttons. They are only available to the Steam client. You cannot remap the Steam+other button combinations either.

Funnily enough when no game is running the Steam button focuses the Steam window. But that functionality is gone as soon as a game is running. Really frustrating.

That's wierd, works well enough for me? It's called guide button chord layout.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 points 6 months ago

No changes to that are saved.

And it still doesn't let you rebind the Steam or ... buttons themselves.
