Steam Deck login issues

[L1d]

I just bought a deck and the first game I installed was Vintage Story. When I pressed play, I was unable to bring up the keyboard [shift-x]. I closed the game and the keyboard was there. So it's just sitting under the game. I did some trawling through the forum and found a link [https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/1/5950985868222095729/] to a steam guide another person had posted, followed the instructions and ... same thing. I've done a lot of googling over the last 3 hours and am stumped. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm calling it quits for the evening but live in hope that someone has a miraculous answer for me

If this game works on the Steam Deck I'm officially buying one. No idea if the game actually supports it tho and I hope someone here has the answer because I'm genuinely interested!

If anyone can answer any of your questions, it's probably the OP of this thread: 

He hasn't been on the forum the last two weeks, but he might react to a ping, if any questions arise which haven't been answered in his thread.

I thought it'd looked through that for answers to my problem but I will have another look, tomorrow. Actually, I think that's where I got the suggestion from the link. Thanks.
