User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:95.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/95.0

Steps to reproduce:

Source code: https://gitlab.com/GrosSacASac/Spacuuu
npm i
npm run serve
or Open
https://elegant-cori-047151.netlify.app/

Use a controller (I tried with an xbox controller)
(Click screen to have focus)
Go down to option
Press A to open
Go to full screen
Press A to activate full screen

Actual results:

19:13:03,118 La requête d’accès au plein écran a été refusée, car Element.requestFullScreen() n’a pas été appelée à l’intérieur d’un gestionnaire d’évènement généré par l’utilisateur. entry-es-module.min.js:3:9068

19:13:03,118 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Fullscreen request denied

(Refused because Element.requestFullScreen() not called inside an event handler for a user generated event)

Did not go full screen

Expected results:

open full screen the same it does with a mouseclick, touch or keyboard (TAB + Space)

Interesting. I wonder if this type of input has been considered for the spec.

Severity: -- → S3

I feel it makes sense to treat GamePad input as a user gesture, but it is not clear on spec, there are some related discussions in https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/pull/107 and https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/issues/124.

Any update on this? This seems to have been resolved in Chromium by considering a frame in which a gamepad input has been detected to have received a user gesture: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=381596

Could Firefox do something similar?
