When I press the side arrow keys on the Steam Deck OSK, it outputs Ctrl+C for left and possibly Ctrl+Shift+W for right. Up and down arrow keys work perfectly fine. I have a hunch it outputs what I've bound to my DPAD on the desktop config. DPAD left is Ctrl-C but DPAD right is Ctrl-V so it doesn't fully align.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Konsole
  2. Open OSK
  3. Attempt to use the arrow keys

Result

Some Ctrl key combination gets output

Expected

Arrow keys should get output

(i would appreciate for the OSK to have ctr/alt/super/F keys. might be time for a full overhaul?)

Nothing extracted yet.
