wlserver_open_steam_menu no longer works

[Antheas Kapenekakis]

Hi,
the aforementioned function (wlserver_open_steam_menu) has stopped working, and we rely on its functionality to open the steam QAM on third party distros and handhelds (esp. gestures on tablets), since steam either requires ctrl + 1/2 or a controller with xbox/xbox+a to open the menus.

gamescope/src/wlserver.cpp

Lines 392 to 405 in 09cb7b4

 void wlserver_open_steam_menu( bool qam ) 
 { 
 	gamescope_xwayland_server_t *server = wlserver_get_xwayland_server( 0 ); 
 	if (!server) 
 		return; 
  
 	uint32_t keycode = qam ? XK_2 : XK_1; 
  
 	XTestFakeKeyEvent(server->get_xdisplay(), XKeysymToKeycode( server->get_xdisplay(), XK_Control_L ), True, CurrentTime); 
 	XTestFakeKeyEvent(server->get_xdisplay(), XKeysymToKeycode( server->get_xdisplay(), keycode ), True, CurrentTime); 
  
 	XTestFakeKeyEvent(server->get_xdisplay(), XKeysymToKeycode( server->get_xdisplay(), keycode ), False, CurrentTime); 
 	XTestFakeKeyEvent(server->get_xdisplay(), XKeysymToKeycode( server->get_xdisplay(), XK_Control_L ), False, CurrentTime); 
 } 

After this commit, steam has stopped listening to xwayland events about button presses in general when it is in the background, which affects that function or using the xwayland 0 instance to emulate that function.

ctrl+1/2 only work when steam is in the foreground as you know and not in game. Therefore, wlserver_key or libei can not be used as a replacement.

Can you look into restoring this functionality?

EDIT: this function works when steam is in the foreground. It is broken when in game.
