Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm frustrated with my inability to type namespace:name where it's needed for modded items/commands.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want the on-screen keyboard to have a colon/semicolon key.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Rigging a physical keyboard to my Steam Deck (I don't have one, can't borrow one, and can't afford a new one for almost a month; not an option).
