How do I keep steam from auto-away?
Playing GTAO on my other monitor with console, and while talking to friends on steam IM it auto-aways me after three minutes of not moving the mouse. Is there an option to fix this I'm missing?

If you change your status to something else, such as Snares suggested, then your Steam status will not automatically change to Away after a period of inactivity.

However, if the status is set to Online then, yes, it will change automatically after a few minutes.
