US, Dvorak, Colemak, Bulgarian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean have no AltGr
key, so AltGr + Delete and the AltGr arrows were unreachable. They get
Steam's own AltGr toggle key, labelled Fn, right of the space bar like
German AltGr.
The Delete key's hint without AltGr is now a third layout entry (empty
key, label Entf), rendered by Steam exactly like its other AltGr hints
(e.g. } on 0) instead of a stylesheet pseudo-element.
The key that becomes Delete on AltGr shows a small hint (the arrow hints'
7 px) on the baseline of Steam's AltGr hints, while the layout has such a
free key.
Steam draws a [normal, shifted] entry as a bare empty key on AltGr and
drops its key type, so the Half-width ^ grew to a full key. Keep the type
with an empty AltGr entry. The AltGr Delete key gets Backspace's key type
(the dark special-key face), the replaced key's flexible width and a
centred label.
While AltGr is active, the key left of Backspace (German ´/`, empty on
AltGr) becomes Delete, labelled like Steam's Delete key (Entf; Del when
longer), sent by the helper; repeats while held like Backspace.
Document the patch calling convention once in lib/default.nix; patch
headers say what, target, hook, state and contracts. Comments only, no
code changes.
Runtime patches no longer use webpack module ids or minified export
names, which change with every Steam UI build:
- modules/lib/finders.js: finder library (getWebpackRequire,
findModule/findExport by source text and shape, resolveAll with a
per-page cache, findFiberUp/findFiberDown/findInReactTree), installed
once per page as window.__sfuiFind.
- modules/lib/signatures.json: the signatures, per patch, shared by the
patches and the checker. lib/default.nix mkPatch wraps a patch
`(find, sigs, opts) => ...` with the library, its signatures and
options; exposed as steamFrame.uiPatches.lib.
- Keyboard patch (VERSION 10): layouts module, current/enabled layout
getters, arrow keys, VR keyboard status and VirtualKeyboardManager are
found by signature; if one doesn't match it reports which and leaves
Steam untouched. unpatch.js uses references the patch remembered.
The helper logs inject results when they change.
- launcher-menu launch/pinned-desktop use the library's fiber helpers;
launch no longer depends on the bar popup's window name.
- scripts/check-signatures.mjs (+ webpack-modules.mjs): extracts module
factories from the installed bundles without a browser and checks
every signature (found / ambiguous / missing, with module ids and
export names). README: "Finders and signatures", "After a Steam update".
Steam's VirtualKeyboardManager keeps the props of the last focused Steam text
field (m_ActiveElementProps) after leaving the dashboard. With a search box
there, the VR keyboard for a gamescope window showed "Search" on Enter and
its onEnterKeyPress returned "VKClose", hiding the keyboard instead of
sending Return. While the keyboard serves something other than this Steam
UI, ignore those props and the dismiss-on-Enter flag.
- drop cruft: v4 DispatchKeypress undo, unused VKM import and
__vrkbdPatched flag, redundant VRKBD_DISPLAY env in the unit
- one wrap() helper for all replaced functions; key names for the
stylesheet derived from the key definitions instead of repeated
- unpatch: restore every layout ever patched (also ones disabled since)
and the remembered component class instead of walking the tree again
- helper: debounce re-injects after bursts of new JS contexts; resolve
pending DevTools calls when the connection closes
- arrow icons vertically centered again (hint stays at the bottom edge)
- updated header comments
- every bottom-row key gets explicit normal/shift/AltGr variants: in Steam's
stock row the close icon jumps with Shift and keys turn into empty
full-width panels with AltGr
- AltGr + arrows: Pos1 / End / PgUp / PgDn (shown as small hints)
- Shift + arrows go through the helper as real Shift+arrow (Steam's own
arrow path drops Shift), so text selection works
- steamFrame.vrKeyboard -> steamFrame.steamKeyboardPatch (module, service
and script names follow): it patches Steam's own on-screen keyboard
- clipboardSync.enable defaults to true: without it the nested desktop's
clipboard is isolated
