Keyboard mode ovverides gamepad/controller presence in the UI and in-game

[krystianwlr]

Describe the bug

Problem description

In the main UI controller gets detected, however whenever keyboard/mouse is used it prevents from using it in-game. Even when buttons on a gamepad are pressed, keyboard mode immediately takes over and makes it impossible to use a controller. It is problematic, as once gamepad is detected, it should be considered as the main input source.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the app
2. Connected the controller (bluetooth)
3. Use the controller to navigate the UI, use keyboard/mouse
4. Use a controller again and launch a game by using it
5. Problem occurs and keyboard mode takes over

Expected behavior

Once controller is used, it should be prioritized over keyboard/mouse

Sorry, not sure I follow the exact issue, what do you mean by keyboard mode?

Heroic itself doesn't have any control over what games detect for controllers/keyboards, Heroic just tells wine/proton to launch the game and then it's on the wine/proton side to handle input.
