Press Start to Confirm Search in Big Box

Summary:

Allow the Start button on a controller to act as an “Enter” key when using the search function in Big Box 🔍🎮.

Problem:

When typing in a search using an on-screen keyboard in Big Box, users currently need to manually navigate to the “Done” button to confirm their input. This adds unnecessary steps and breaks the flow, especially when using a controller from the couch or arcade setup. In most modern interfaces—games and media apps alike—pressing Start or Enter confirms input naturally.

Proposal:

Map the Start button to trigger search confirmation, functioning the same as selecting “Done.” This would provide a quicker, more intuitive way to complete searches without extra navigation.

Benefits:

• Smoother, more intuitive UI experience

• Reduces friction for controller-only users

• Aligns with common input behavior in other apps and consoles

• Makes search more efficient on big-screen and arcade setups 🛋️🕹️
