Description

Using an external controller when launching the game from Gamescope whilst the Steam Deck is docked is difficult because the file picker doesn't support the control with Steam Input Disabled (however this is the preferred way to play the game later on). The touch screen is still usable on the deck however pressing the Open button was impossible on the files. I had to get around this by setting a mouse only keybind to the deck itself and navigate the menu that way whilst keeping the deck docked.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the installation file-picker flow in Gamescope on a docked Steam Deck with an external controller and Steam Input disabled. Investigate the installation UI and file-picker interaction; done means the Open action is usable with the controller or touchscreen in that setup.
