You need to click on the input box and then type it in with a keyboard!

EDIT: Just fixed a bug that would disable your cursor on this screen. You should be able to see your mouse cursor now all the time when in the online menu, which should make it a little easier to select the input box!

Thank you! It bothered me so much that the cursor disappeared after clicking a password box!

Are you going to update the interface for connecting to online games? Because at the moment, it's absolutely horrible. Having to switch from keyboard, to mouse, to controller. I just want to sit on the sofa with friends and not having to keep getting up to my PC to sort it out.

You shouldn't have to switch between input devices. The only exception being you have to use a keyboard to type in a password, is this what you're doing when your switching inputs?

If so, I'm not really sure what can be done to fix this - as I'm not aware of any way to input text nicely for a password using only a controller. I could look into adding an on-screen keyboard that you can control with a controller, but I'm not sure if that would solve the problem as it seems pretty cumbersome. What do you think?

Currently on linux, I can't do anything with the keyboard, its controller only.

I can't look for a game nor can i input a password

Can you try using the arrow keys and space to navigate to the controls menu to see if for some reason you have no keyboard mappings. The arrow keys and space should work all the time, regardless of your mappings so long as your keyboard is connected. If the arrow keys do not work, it sounds like a deeper issue and I'll need to take a look at your log file to see if something odd is happening.
