Unable to type in console.

[correii]

The Decks on-screen keyboard works fine to type console commands when using gzDOOM standalone. But it doesn’t when launching through gzDeck. Any idea how to get it working?

Update on this:

It’s actually ALL keyboards, external and on-screen.

The problem is full screen. In desktop mode, if I run gzDOOM/GZDeck and turn full screen off, I’m able to type in the console.

However, in game mode, even with full screen off in-game, I still can’t type in the console. I assume that the game mode window manager is forcing full screen somehow.

Whatever it is, it’s super annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this, I would really appreciate your help.

UPDATE:

I found this on the gzDOOM discord:

“ For those of you using the GZDoom Flatpak on Steam Deck, and are unable to use the keyboard to type stuff out, add this to the command-line arguments: SteamDeck=0 %command%”

“ Once that command-line argument is there, GZDoom will work with the Deck's on-screen keyboard.”

I haven’t had the chance to test this yet, so I’m unsure if the “no sandbox” launch argument interferes with the “steamdeck=0” command, or in what order they should be. Hopefully this solves the problem though.
