Alt-tab / Forcing a certain controller / web browser through decky
Not NEW to Linux, but it’s been near a decade since I’ve really used it. Regardless, I recently put bazite on my ally and I really want to use it as my daily driver but there’s a few things preventing me from doing so.
1) I’ve tried using the web browser plugin for decky on both the beta and non beta versions of steamos. I always get a react plugin error and I’m unable to use it. Is the web browser broken or is it something on my end? As a result I’ve tried using the desktop mode, but that also leads to issues.
2) I’ve gotten alt tabbing to work with RB and select, however when I launch a game from desktop mode I can’t get the controller to change to the desktop layout. I’ve tried binding alt tab to keys within my game, but that doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tapped the touch screen which enables the desktop controls and then have tried the RB select method, but this changes back to controller layout immediately. This leads me to my 3rd issue
3) is there anyway to force a certain controller layout so that I can maintain my alt tabbing functionality?
4) I’ve tried using chrome through SteamOS but it frequently results in hard locks of my system.
I play a lot of POE, so having a web browser open in the background is pretty much required. If there’s any better way to do this than the ways that I’ve suggested, please let me know.
