To copy text on the Steam Deck, you first need to bring up the virtual keyboard by pressing the Steam button + X. Then, use the touchpad or the joystick to highlight the text you want to copy. Once you've got the text highlighted, press the Steam button + X again to copy it. To paste it somewhere else, open the virtual keyboard in the new location and press the Steam button + V.

Copying text on the Steam Deck isn't exactly like on a PC, but here's the gist: Use the Steam button combined with X to simulate a 'Ctrl+C' action, and Steam button + V for 'Ctrl+V' to paste. Remember, it's all about that Steam button combo magic!

Honestly, just use a connected keyboard. Steam Deck's controls are great for gaming but can get fiddly for text. A USB or Bluetooth keyboard makes text work a breeze on it.

Just use the on-screen keyboard shortcuts. Steam button + X to copy, Steam button + V to paste. Simple as pie.
