Hello everyone!

Today I bought a mouse and keyboard for the couch to play some games which are not made for controllers. Unfortunately I can’t figure out how to access the Steam menu once I am in-game. The desktop overlay combination does not seem to work (shift + tab) and I don’t know what else to try as I don’t have anything resembling the PlayStation or Xbox buttons like on my controllers.

Desktop mode itself is unfortunately unusable as Steam ignores the scaling configuration and text is unreadable small on the TV. I just bring this up, because I suspect the overlay combination would work here.

Does anyone know what keys to press in normal big picture esque mode to open any of the Steam menus while in-game?

Thank you!

    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.

      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.
