Description

Description

Hotkey binding on Android is not working correctly.

Expected behavior

I should be able to bind the A and B buttons as Hotkeys and still use them to navigate through the menu system.

Actual behavior

If I try to bind either the A or B button on a Razer Kishi or an Xbox One controller to a Hotkey, I can no longer navigate in the menus until I remove the binding. This happens even with a Hotkey Enable key setup.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Bind the A or B keys to a Hotkey and see that you will no longer be able to move forward or back in the menu system, depending on which button you have bound.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Android 11 with a Razer Kishi or Xbox One controller, binding A or B as a hotkey with a Hotkey Enable key configured. Trace the hotkey and menu-navigation input handling; done when either binding no longer prevents forward or back navigation.
