Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is suboptimal to have to hold the select button for 5 seconds to emulate the guide/ home button. Since there's already an option to override back as meta, I'm curious if it's possible to override back as the controllers home button.

Describe the solution you'd like

While using linux (bazzite, steamos, chimera os, etc) or steam as the primary gaming platform on the host, I feel like having a dedicated guide (xbox, PS, home) button would be more useful.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One problem: when the client is connected with multiple controllers, which controller will send the guide button?

Also controllers are not managed by the stream view directly, so sending controller actions is more complicated than sending keyboard input.

Controller one makes the most sense. Really just mimicing whatever holding the select button for 5 seconds does, just doing that action off of another trigger.

But if it isn't doable, or would be overly difficult then no worries. This is far from necessary. It would just go to make the streaming experience feel more like playing natively.

Actually guide button on Xbox/DS4 controllers works just fine, only DInput/Nintendo ones cannot use their native guide/home button. If you use Pro controllers wired with USB driver override enabled, its home button will work as well.
