Description Ángel Navarro 2026-02-13 15:59:16 UTC 
SUMMARY
Performing a click with the new game controller plugin (RS-down) doesn't trigger the virtual keyboard, making it impossible to type without actually going to the physical keyboard like Steam Big Picture does.

I should clarify that Plasma keyboard is my currently set virtual keyboard.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect your controller.
2. Click on a text field with RS-down

OBSERVED RESULT
The virtual keyboard doesn't show up.

EXPECTED RESULT
The chosen virtual keyboard (in my case, Plasma Keyboard) should show up.
