Valve released a fresh Steam Beta client for Desktop and Steam Deck, with one change I'm sure some will love with the new Game Recording system. Since the new Steam Game Recording feature launched in Beta back in June, Valve have made some nice steady improvements to it.
The latest update adds in a dedicated customizable shortcut key for you to save a clip of just recent gameplay. Not only that, the length of time it cuts can be changed as well.
This shortcut only appears in Desktop Steam currently.
From the Desktop Beta changelog:
General
- Fixed regression when rendering game invites in chat.
- Improved reliability of "games in common" collections in library.
- Rewrite of shortcut key binding in settings UI, including the ability to unbind a hotkey.
Steam Input
- Fixed regression: "Dots per 360" was having no effect on FlickStick or Gyro to Mouse modes.
- Fixed a bug where PlayStation controllers connected over BT could be shown as connected over USB.
Game Recording
- You can now bind a shortcut key which saves a clip of recent gameplay.
From the Steam Deck Beta changelog these changes are just for the Deck:

- Fixed a rare crash when trying to connect to a WiFi network for the first time
- Fixed a rare crash when checking for updates

Quoting: scaineQuoting: CloversheenNeat, now if only it correctly read the keyboard input when trying to set a shortcut, apparently F12 is the same as [ and F11 is Z...I guess you can set it to whatever you need. I use CTRL-PAGEUP for marking, and CTRL-PAGEDOWN for capture. I just don't use it very often though (see my Microphone comment above), so I don't know other keys are matching that combination and triggering.
If I try to set it to Ctrl-PageDown by pressing the keybinding in the box it enters it as Ctrl+'

I'm getting the exact same behaviour 😬, haven't actually set a keybind as a result, would need to test if it actually works, despite showing random keys when setting up.
For example, my numpad numbers are entered as ABCDEF.. so weird.

Yeah, so they enter weirdly during the assignment, but when you exit that config box, they should show up normally.
