Gamescope thinks super key is pressed
I’ve reinstalled bazzite just to see if I did something silly. But the problem still exists.
If I run anything with gamescope, I can’t use any button that is a gamescope shortcut. For example I can’t press S , as it just takes a screenshot. Or F as it toggles full screen.

try just press the super key, sounds like the key is just stuck in software and you can just unstuck it usually by just pressing ctrl+alt+super
as i cannot replicate this
Nah it’s not the obvious ones. I wonder if this is gnome related? Reinstalling with KDE this time.
this is fixed in git and will be in gamescope 3.16.2
It’s also consistently reproing but only in gamescope
Oh? Lol
Got a link to PR/Commit?

In the meantime is there a workaround?
no
maybe
--backend sdl but youll lose hdr
as a launch option for gamescope i mean, ie gamescope --backend sdl -- vkcubeAh, that just doesn’t open anything for me
Workaround: turn off numlock
lol
God I hate Linux sometimes
Any idea why no one else has reported this issue before on bazzite?
At least a simple search didn’t find anything
