How to disable Big Picture in Desktop Mode?

My only real complaint with my Deck has been the frustration of trying to use the On-Screen keyboard in desktop mode. Often when I open it using the Steam Button + X hotkey, it launches Big Picture Mode instead of giving me a keyboard.

Is there a way to disable BPM from opening at all? I know on PC and Linux you can do so, but I can't find the option on my deck.

The default desktop mode layout opens keyboard just by pressing x I believe, and if it doesn't you can customize the desktop layout to set a different keybind for keyboard. I haven't actually seen it open big picture mode from pressing steam+x at all, I'm curious if anyone else has encountered that.

My god you're right, X on its own does work.

I've been using the Steam button this whole time since that's the hotkey shown in gaming mode.

And I was using only X in Game mode because that is how you open it in desktop mode.
