Added the ability to invoke the Big Picture keyboard on the desktop when Big Picture is minimized. Left Stick click to show the keyboard, X to toggle keyboard position around mouse cursor, B to dismiss the keyboard. The binding to show the keyboard will be made configurable in a future update.

Any other known working controller shortcuts missing from list?

Is there a shortcut to minimize steam? or even a game?
Sort of like an Alt+Tab thing? Yes?

From big picture, pressing the steam button will pop up a menu with options including minimise BPM

Pressing the steam button from regular steam will launch Big Picture

Is it possible to make costume combination of "steam button + B" will activate ctrl+Alt+Delete?

[Balderick]

More people would see your question if you asked it in the main discussion area here. 😉
Yes it should be possible.
What have you tried?

Thanks for the replay
I wish set hotkey shortcut that includes steam button and other key, but it is not accessible through the config editor, in fact I wish to make it as universal hotkey for everytime i need the alt+ctrl+delete rather than one game config
After all we all face freezes and crush in pc

So the "Steam+Y" only turns off the controller when not in Big Picture?

You can do that in BPM too.

Steam button - Power on pc wirelessly.
If motherboards "usb keyboard remote power on" is enabled this feature can be used.
Very handy !

Is there a way to create my own shortcuts?
