Homecoming Launcher Patch Notes for June 22, 2023

[Number Six]

Version 5538

 

Accessibility

• The launcher now supports keyboard navigation on the main screen.
• The default keybindings are:
  • Up, Down / W, S - Change the selected launch profile or navigate pop-up menus. When the news pane has focus, scroll by a small amount.
  • Enter / Spacebar / 1 - Activate the selected item. This is the default action, such as launching the game or starting an update if one is needed.
  • Tab / Shift-Tab - Move focus between the left-hand pane which contains the launch profiles, the right-hand pane with the newsfeed, and the two buttons at the top.
  • Period / Minus / Slash / Alt-Enter / R / 2 - Opens the context menu when a launch profile is selected. This is the same as clicking the '...' button.
  • Escape / Backspace - Closes any open pop-up menu.
  • Page Up, Page Down / Home, End - Additional navigation function when the news pane has focus.
  • Left, Right / A, D - Special-purpose navigation between the links at the top of the news pane.
• The default bindings are designed to be useful for navigation both on a computer keyboard and with some of the default control mappings on devices such as Steam Deck.
• There is no UI to remap the key bindings, but if desired they can be customized by editing the settings\launcher\settings.json file. The default binds are added to the file the first time the new version is run. The file should only be edited while the launcher is not running; otherwise any changes will likely be overwritten when it exits.
• The settings dialog is a standard Windows dialog and already supported keyboard navigation.
