## 7. Uninstall
## 7. Pause (Almost) Any Game

Some games to not provide a pause function. It is often possible to suspend those programs using an app such as Game Pauser by Jase (https://madebyjase.com/game-pauser/). Steam Controller has been configured with a shortcut for that application.

To configure the program:

1. Install and launch Game Pauser by Jase
2. Open Settings then Advanced User Customization
3. Scroll down to the Custom Pausable Applications List and add any folders you run games from to the line AdditionalPausableFilepathInclusions. For example, I added "C:\\Games" and "C:\\XboxGames" as I install games in those folders in addition to steam.
4. Under Keyboard Settings, ensure the two keycodes are 0xDB and 0xDD (this corresponds to '[' and ']')
5. Close the settings and leave the app running in the background. When it is running, "STEAM + Left Stick" should pause any running games
