Tabbing Out on Desktop Mode
I've been getting an issue on the deck with tabbing out of games. I want to be able to alt-tab as I would with a keyboard so I can keep the game running while I do something else (using a modding application). I found this discussion from the forum (https://gtm.you1.cn/app/1675200/discussions/0/3269059787436816909/) which helped somewhat. I configured the back buttons to be alt and tab, which lets me switch tabs in desktop mode.
However, when I try this in-game (Dark Souls Remastered), even just on the menu, nothing happens. I can't tab out, or minimise as described in the above post. I don't really get it - does this sound like a problem with the game or the Deck? I would be surprised if there was no functionality for this on the Deck.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions?

You need to apply your layout with the alt+tab command as the in-game controller layout as well. You likely only set the desktop controller layout. When it goes into a game it switches to the one selected for a game.
