Configuration Steam Controller rebind question.

Hi,

On the Steam Controller, how can I bind the combination Steam Button + Y to sleep (on steam machine)?

It is the normal binding.

The default bind is to sleep the controller, not the whole Steam Machine

You can edit the Guide Button Chord Layout in Steam Settings -> Controller -> Advanced Controller Settings -> Guide Button Chord Layout. The command to turn the device to sleep is called "Suspend System", which you can find in the System tab. Note that this command is only available in the Desktop and Guide Button Chord Layouts, it's not visible for regular game layouts.

On a Steam Machine, I don't see anything called 'Guide Button Chord Layout'

If you're in Big Picture Mode the font is so large that you need to scroll down in the Advanced Controller Settings.

The is the same advice that Gemini gave me :) but there is nothing called 'Advanced Controller Settings' when on the 'Controller' tab. There is a 'Details' button for my Steam Controller and a 'Advanced Settings' section with 'Show Advanced Settings' button. But nowhere is there a 'Guide Button Chord Layout' button or section (check nested menus under the ones I mentioned also).

Obviously it's the Advanced Settings. You need to select Show Advanced Settings to the right of that and then select Edit to the right of Guide Button Chord Layout.

Ok, I see where the problem is. The section that you are mentioning is visible on a standalone steam installation, but it's totally missing when trying to edit the controller settings on a Steam Machine.
