Keyboard issue with No Man’s Sky on Linux?

Has anyone playing on Linux tried to use the Text Formatting Guide?

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/qv6gy7/comprehensive_text_style_formatting_guide/

When I try to do it on Linux, every time I type < it gets replaced with >. So I can’t do symbols or colors etc. I tested on my desktop Xubuntu (fails), steam deck (works fine using virtual keyboard), and windows 10 pc (works fine).

I am using a standard generic 105 key keyboard, the < key works elsewhere.

      It’s the bullshit that happens when people post to Lemmy from Mastodon. Should be banned IMO

        @woelkchen That’s kinda the whole point of the Fediverse…

        That said, yep, definitely needs to be some tweaking in how Lemmy handles content from other protocols.

          The point is not to spam one platform with conventions of another, though. Hashtags and markdown have no place in Lemmy headlines. Being able to follow Lemmy content from Mastodon is great but when posting to Lemmy from Mastodon means that Mastodon users should adhere to Lemmy conventions and not force their crap hashtags onto Lemmy.

          That said, yep, definitely needs to be some tweaking in how Lemmy handles content from other protocols.

          The hashtags were put there by OP, not the Lemmy software. I don’t know who put the markdown link there. My guess is was Mastodon and Lemmy merely accepts the crap Mastodon generates.

            @woelkchen
            I generally agree, except:

            Someone posting content doesn’t necessarily have any idea where that content will be consumed. Perfect example is this conversation here—I’m posting on Mastodon, so the content is formatted appropriately for that protocol. If someone on Lemmy (or Firefish, Misskey, or anything else) is consuming this content, then it really needs to be that system that sanitises the content so it can be read most easily.

              If someone like OP posts directly to linux_gaming @ lemmy.ml he/she posts to Lemmy and better accept its conventions and not add fucking hashtags there.

                You missed the point they likely don’t even know it appears here

      That does not answer their question. You apparently only read the title which was cut off because it was posted from the Fediverse.

      Pro tip: if you post from Fedi to Lemmy, have a double line break between the title of your question and the actual question.

    Which keyboard layout do you have? Maybe there’s an environment variable to change it in WINE/Proton.

    No Man’s Sky works great on Linux Mint. I’ve been playing it for a few years via Steam with Proton. Runs flawlessly on my system. Definitely worth checking out proton.db to see if there are any tweaks you may need to make, though. Enjoy! It’s a fantastic game!
