Allowing MCPE to understand steam deck keyboard
Ive been talking with the MCPElauncher Linux devs. Is there any way to get the height and location of the steam keyboard to allow Minecraft to move its text boxes? MCPE is inside a flatpak

FHere is a link
KThis issue isn't really bazzite specific since SteamOS is also immutable
KI'm not aware of any applications that are properly aware of the steam keyboard and resize
FIs there a way we could export the keyboard geometry
KCould just look for the environment variable SteamDeck=1 and move the chat box to another location
KThen there's no need for hacky detections that'll break when steam moves to Wayland
FIs there a way to know where the keyboard will be? To know its height?
KNo
FHeight mainly
KAnd the solution I gave is distro agnostic
FYes. Distro agnostic solutions are win
FIt does sound like something that a gamescope PR could do
AYou can't detect whether the keyboard is up or its place
ADo you have access to x11 atoms?
AIf yes you can check
FIm using default gamescope
ADoes the launcher have access to x11 atoms
FIll ask
FDo you think gamescope would be accepting of a PR that exports the keyboard geometry and status to an environment variable? This seems like a good way to let anyone respond to the keyboard and it would be distro agnostic too
AThere's no geometry
ASteam takes over the screen
ABut if you have access to the atoms you can know when it's doing that
AX11 atoms

FAren’t we planning on moving towards Wayland?
AThere's a Wayland equivalent
FIll let them know
