Support for the GPD Win 5.

[ColinMacLaren]

I would kindly ask you to support the new GPD Win 5 device. It has a two extra buttons:

A "Keyboard button" that opens the virtual keyboard in Windows by sending CTRL + Left Meta + O
A "HOME" button on the left that does META + D.

It would make most sense if the keyboard button opens the Steam Virtual keyboard. I am not sure for what mapping this would be useful in big picture mode.

I am on CachyOS.

I ran these commands:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

sudo evtest (for event2)

udevadm info --attribute /dev/input/event2

udevadm info --attribute /sys/class/dmi/

dmesg

and attached the outputs to this request.

evtest.txt
udevadm info --attribute ⁄dev⁄input⁄event2 .txt
udevadm info --attribute ⁄sys⁄class⁄dmi⁄ .txt
cat ⁄proc⁄bus⁄input⁄devices.txt
dmesg.txt

Also, there is no option to change the mapping of the back buttons. Right now I am doing this in Windows with WinControl.

Thank you very much.

In progress here if you wanna have a play with:
#263

I'm going on holidays for the rest of December so Win 5 support will improve significantly in the new year. Also just shipped an improvement around 20 min ago.

Thanks for great work!
I saw there was some updates about the GPD Win 5 extra buttons, but what settings would I set on HHD to make that work?

I want to set the keyboard button to open/close the virtual keyboard on desktop mode, and the left extra button to something else like a keyboard stroke.

Hi there, is this already in a specific build or is it still pending to my understanding this is waiting to be merged into master/released? having a win 5 I am eager for getting the buttons on it working correctly under bazzite.
