When I use KDE connect on my android phone, I cannot type uppercase characters. When I shift to uppercase on the phone, I can send the character to the PC, but it will be lowercase there.

Context, I am using Bazzite on AMD with GeForce through a 4k TV, so console style set up.

So I tried using the steam in game keyboard instead but have two further issues there:

  1. The in game overlay UI scale is tiny compared to how big picture looks when not playing a game. Pre launch everything is a nice size for a 43" display, but in game all the UI is tiny

  2. The in game keyboard won’t actually input any text in the game - I’m triggering this via the new steam controller for what it’s worth (steam button and x)

Any suggestions?

      I have bad news… I can’t reproduce it. Perhaps it does behave differently on 4K displays? Unfortunately I cannot test it.

      The only thing I could think of is to try with gamescope. In Desktop Mode, you can do that by exiting Steam, opening a terminal, and running gamescope -e -f -w 3840 -h 2160 -- steam -tenfoot -steamos. This seems to work great for me… but to be honest, also running Big Picture mode without gamescope seems to work for me. You could give it a try and see how it goes.

      Another thing you could try is to add gamescope -e -f -w 3840 -h 2160 -- %command% to the launch options of a specific game. But this might not be what you want at all. Personally, I wouldn’t do this.

      Another very reasonable thing you could do is just wait a few days and see if the developers are going to notice and fix the issue.
