Can't type in GZDoom (lemmy.world)

When trying to save a game or use the DOOM console in GZDoom, I cannot type anything, even with a keyboard plugged in (and on the virtual kb as well). This means that I cannot save the game.

Anybody know of a fix?

I can type when launching outside of Steam in desktop mode, so seems like an issue with Steam Input.

It shows an on screen keyboard when you use the mouse to select stuff. That should at least be workaround.

I've been able to trigger the on screen keyboard when naming a save game, but I've had no luck with the console. How did you manage to trigger the on screen keyboard in that case?

I haven't used the console yet. But at least cheats like IDDQD work without pulling up the console, using Steam's OSK.

Thanks, that's a workaround for cheats at least. I'll try tinkering a bit more with the console when I get the chance, so we can mess around with the rest of the console features too.

Is the OSK inside of the GZDoom engine, or do you mean the Steam OSK? With the Steam OSK, I cannot type.

I've tried using a mouse to select the new save option, and no OSK shows.

EDIT: Figured it out. Thanks.
