How to bring up Steam Menu During gaming while using keyboard or 3rd party controller?
While not gaming, Ctrl+1, and Ctrl+2 are the keys for bringing up the steam Menu. The problem is how to open the Steam Menu during games with a Keyboard? Also, if I use a switch controller, how do I open Steam Menu at all?

You mean the Quick access menu? The menu with the 3 dots ... ?

Keyboard I don't know, on other controllers it's Xbox Button + A. Or PS Button + A. On the switch Controller i would guess it's either Home button + A or + B.

Thank you. You are correct. Home for Steam Menu, Home+A for quick settings, friends, and overlays. Now I just have to figure out shortcuts for keyboards.

... This is called a "breadcrumbs menu" or button

☰ This is called a "hamburger menu" or button

I too need to figure out a way to press the Steam menu buttons with keyboard while in game mode and docked.

Ctrl+1 for the "Steam" button

Ctrl+2 for the "breadcrumbs" button.

Ctrl+0 for the "hamburger" button.

Doesn't work while in-game. I think this is an issue on Valve's part :steamsad:
