External Keyboard Shortcuts - Game Mode

I'm using
bazzite-gnome-deck
bazzite-gnome-deck
on a desktop PC. On my Steam Deck (valve official OS) if I connect an external keyboard and mouse, ctrl+1 and ctrl+2 usually give me the "steam button" menu and the "three dots" (quick access) menu. That behavior continues in Bazzite's game mode, but only when I'm actually in the Steam UI. Once I start a game, I'm unable to open the Steam/Quick Access menus unless I connect a controller and use the controller hotkeys. Am I missing something, or should those shortcuts be working?
