In case you didn’t know, you can install a different onscreen keyboard from Discovery. It’d be nice if the default keyboard didn’t lack those fundamental features, though.
Not with the one I installed (CoreKeyboard). And it’s only usable in Desktop mode.
Once in Desktop mode, you have to launch it (or set it to auto launch). Then it puts an icon in the system tray and you can click that to show the keyboard. There’s a key on the keyboard to hide it.
There’s probably a better keyboard out there for the Steam Deck specifically, but for my purposes it works well enough.
I use barrier when I need a keyboard in desktop mode. It works well. I just need to remember to turn off the server afterwards, or my desktop can’t fold !
Damn I have to consider those. Using the terminal with the screen keyboard is pain due to missing keys
that’s the biggest war crime that valve has committed with the deck and no idea how they think it’s acceptable

and it does replace the shortcut with steam+X aswell or would i need to do anything else to change that?

SSH
Most terminal needs I do through SSH.
I know, and I do the same. But its annoying still, I want to do everything on the local machine
