Have these APIs been merged into the main Greenworks build yet? |

@HughIsaacs2 not yet, since I don't have device to test them... |

I don't think you need a gamepad to use the on screen keyboard in Big Picture mode, and even if so I can definitely say it works with any XInput gamepad (I've used it with my Xbox One controller). So gamepad or not there should be a way to emulate one (there's a ton of Phone to XInput or even keyboard to XInput apps out there). |

hi there, just checking to see the status of this PR. is there anything blocking this from getting merged, any issues that need sorting out first? |

@cvan, this PR is kind of outdated, I need to rebase it. Originally this feature was requested by @patrickklug, but he switched to other stuff and didn't get time to play it around. Do you need this feature? I may pick it up. |
I think anything to improve this library is important, as more and more games coming down the pipe that will want to use it! |

Hi @hokein Can I used gamepad now? |
Fixes #60
After discussing with @patrickklug, currently we have no plan to support steam controller APIs since these APIs are too specific.
This PR exposes the Steam Big Picture APIs:
greenworks.on("gamepad-text-input-dismissed", function(submitted, unsubmittedText) {})
Boolean: true if user entered & accepted text (callgreenworks.getEnteredGamepadTextInput()for text), false if canceled input.IntegerEmits when Steam Big Picture gamepad text input has been closed.
greenworks.showGamepadTextInput(inputMode, inputLineMode, description, charMax, existingText)
greenworks.GamepadTextInputModegreenworks.GamepadTextInputLineModeStringIntegerStringActivates the Big Picture text input dialog which only supports gamepad input
greenworks.getEnteredGamepadTextLength()
Returns previously entered text's length
greenworks.getEnteredGamepadTextInput(cchText)
IntegerReturns previously entered text
Enum values:
