Virtual Keyboard functionality (Ctrl, Alt, Fn keys, arrows)

[happyprancer]

The virtual keyboard is very limited, especially for using desktop mode. There are no up and down arrows for accessing the terminal history. There is no Ctrl key which has many uses in terminal and other desktop applications. There is no Alt key which is used to navigate menus in desktop applications. There is no way to use function keys like F1 or F5, which are useful in many desktop applications as well as many games. These keys can be mapped in games, but there are times in games when you just want to press a function key without remapping the controls. It would be great to have an advanced mode for the keyboard that has the functionality of a full keyboard.

This is wild. I have a key for emoticons but I can't use F keys with the on screen keyboard?

Yo Valve, it's labor day; that means do the labor and give us a proper keyboard!
