Steam typing issues (lemmy.world)

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?

Thanks mate, I'll grab some pics ASAP but to clarify the issue, steam has a setting to adjust the UI scaling when you're using a TV since you are sitting further away. That works fine in big picture, the interface is nice and big and readable.

I'm playing in 4k but over 3 metres. When you launch the steam overlay in game the UI is suddenly tiny and not full screen; the text is unreadable and I'd expect it to look the same scale as out of game. No idea what to adjust to fix.

Likewise when I launch the steam keyboard in game, it's tiny. I can interact with it but I can't get it to type, but that's a separate issue lol
