Steam Big Picture Mode Keyboard Controls
These are the keys that are used when navigating in Steam Big Picture Mode. Steam Big Picture Mode is also used on the Steam Deck and in SteamOS. These keyboard shortcuts only work in Steam. If you are in a game, the key inputs are handled by the game instead. These buttons are what are referenced in the Steam UI, either in an unmodified version or with a plugin loader installed. The triggers (L2 & R2) are only used in the PIN pad. Space, PgUp and PgDn are triggering the underlying chromium engine and instead start to page the view. Valve did not design their UI to be used like this, so using these are unintuitive (focus does not follow the view-port and constantly resets it ).
