Description

Problem:
When using a Switch Pro Controller with RetroArch on an Android TV 11 device (mi TV 4a) , pressing the home button immediately takes me to the Android TV home screen.
Expected Behavior:
I would like the home button to open RetroArch's Quick Menu, as it did on my previous Android 8 device (mi box 3).
Thanks in advance

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a Switch Pro Controller on an Android TV 11 mi TV 4a, comparing the Home button behavior with the reported Android 8 device. Investigate the Android input handling and Quick Menu behavior; done means the Home button opens RetroArch's Quick Menu instead of the Android TV home screen.
