"Using a physical mouse to click on text input will no longer bring up the On-Screen Keyboard"

Ok but what if I don't have a physical keyboard connected?

Not asking this sarcastically, but what game would you ever be playing with an external mouse, a textbox, but no physical keyboard?

Almost never a game but rather tinkering.

Something like Slay the Spire where you essentially never use a keyboard outside of creating a name for your save file? It's quite rare though

You plug a mouse in for STS?

If I'm playing at a desk or table, yes. It's certainly not required being a turn based game, but I'm much faster using a mouse

Steam + X opens the keyboard.

You can open the screen keyboard with the shortcut (Steam + X) (or just X on desktop mode)
Worst than automatically opening like with no physical mouse for sure, but still possible
