Excluding adding an external keyboard and mouse, what quality of life changes can be made to the deck to make keyboard and mouse work less terrible?

That’s a toggle under keyboard settings. With the toggle off (which is default behavior I think) the left trigger is shift and the right trigger is enter.
That’s a huge lifesaver. I genuinely was just giving up when I had to type passwords in
Typing my password was what prompted me to ask the question. Looking at my 20 character random password (I don’t have a manager installed on the deck) I decided staring blankly out the window for two hours was preferable to attempting to enter the characters - blindly, since the password box was unmodifyingly hidden behind the pop-up keyboard - and hoping I got them all correct and every keypress actually registered, and only registered once.
Protip: get KDE connect, connect your phone and deck and then use KDE connect to paste passwords from your phones password manager
edit: deck has kde connect preinstalled but I think you need to connect your phone in desktop mode.
you can also then use your phones keyboard to type or use the phone as a touchpad
Thanks - didn’t know this existed; I’ll give it a shot!
