Disable Big Picture mode and it's Home shortcut
Let's face it; Most of you out there do not use "Big Picture" but most of us have a controller such as an X360. Every now and then we find ourselves hitting the "Guide" button and launch BPM by accident. But this does not stop there! Ever played an emulator? Or simply an older title where you want to assign that very button? Well, you can't.

Steam literally hogs that key for itself. You cannot even assign BPM as a combination of buttons ie. LB+RB+Home.

The closest solution I am aware of is to modify Steams own xinput dll to override that function sadly I could not find a working link to it anymore... Anyone that may have it are more than welcome to post it here.

So in short, Could we have options to:
Completely disable "Big Picture Mode" and It's icon from steam. This is for people who simply will never use it.
Assign action when "Home" button is used. Launch BPM or Disabled.
Allow us to reassign the key to whatever combination we want.

i never use BPM and you need 2 buttonpresses to activate BPM mode, one to focus steam and then another one to start BPM ... and this button has no other functionality anyway "for the most of us"

I hope you're just trolling... Right?

If not... *Sighs* We're obviously talking about controllers here. Take a wireless X360 for example. Want to check charge level? Hit the "Home" button to see it. But wait; What's this? BPM Launched instead because steam hogs that function now. The removal of the icon within steam was just to completely remove/disable BPM if you so wish. (Who'd ever hit that by accident anyway?!)
