I'm not on SteamOS proper but OpenSUSE Tumbleweed at the moment. But this already bugged me on SteamOS. It's an issue with the Steam Deck controller driver and the Steam client, so I guess this project is the most appropriate.

When I'm playing a game while in desktop mode the Steam and ... button should bring Steam into focus or at least open the Steam Overlay. I think ideally the Steam button would bring Steam into focus and the quick access button would open the Steam Overlay. As it stands the Overlay is currently completely inaccessible on SteamOS.

When Steam is not running the two buttons should be mappable. At the moment they do absolutely nothing without Steam running. Mapping them to the Super key might be appropriate.

Even Microsoft managed to map their equivalent to Alt+Tab. Do you really want to look inferior to Microsoft?
