Bug #1756

Conflict Between Controller and Keyboard Inputs in Mixed Input Mode

Status:	Open
Priority:	High

Reported for:	S06.04 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Hold the shout button on keyboard while moving with a controller joystick (so that the game is continually using controller glyphs), and it will pull out the laser pointer instead.
2. Try to pull out the resupply with the keyboard bind for it.
3. It won't do anything and you will need to either stand still and move the mouse to make it work, or double tap the item 4 bind.

Explanation

When the game is using controller button prompts, the keyboard binds are also affected even though mixed input is supported. This manifests in things like the resupply key on keyboard not working, the item 4 bind having the controller behavior of double tap for resupply, the shout bind acting as controller LB, with it pulling out the laser pointer instead when held instead of tapped. All of these things can cause problems on something like the steam controller or steam deck, when you want to enhance the experience by implementing things that the normal controller support can't do, and end up running into unexpected behavior because keyboard keys are affected when they should not be.
