What I really want from it is just a quick record shortcut that only captures the last minute or 3 like the consoles have. I don't want to have to go back later and save it after marking it.

That's the feature I'm hoping for. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how the constant record feature works, but I really only want to keep maybe the last 5-10 minutes in temp storage, but it's holding way longer than that for me.
There is a decky plugin for that, although it adds about 1w of power usage to have it enabled.
I have a suspicion that was omitted purposefully to prevent people from just sharing their raw saved replays. Since if you have to clip you'll never end up with people sharing full minute videos where the interesting bit was the last five seconds.
This is of course just my own supposition from assuming they had a reason for the omission and thinking about what that reason might be
Direct link to changelog, as the article itself does not add anything to the changelog itself and just copies it: Steam Client Beta - July 10th
Game Recording
- Improvements to drag and scroll behaviors when finalizing the beginning and end of a clip
- No longer warp the play head to the beginning/end of a clip when setting the beginning/end of a clip via the UI buttons
- Fixed a bug where using the hotkey to add a user marker would drop the marker at the wrong location
- Increase the minimum background recording time to 15 minutes, to give the user time to edit recent clips before the recorded video ages out
- Added a warning to the user if game recording has been turned off to prioritize broadcasting
- Ignore user marker shortcut key if game recording is disabled
- Improved reliability of saving/renaming of .m4s video segment files when antivirus software locks the files temporarily
- Added the ability to save a specific frame of a video as a steam screenshot
- Improved default naming of clip files to improve readability and sortability. Steam will also scan game state descriptions to apply to default clip filename, if available
- Fixed an exception thrown if the user canceled a clip save in the file picker dialog
- Updated message displayed when there is no recent other session where the user can send a clip
Added the ability to save a specific frame of a video as a steam screenshot
I was actually using snipping tool for this as it was missing. Being able to get a screenshot of something after the fact is a nice feature.
Looking forward to this coming to stable
And still no way to run a demo of a game over proton...
I'm pretty sure that works fine actually. I've had issues with it not letting me download windows demos in the past on desktop, but on Steam Deck at least it's let me run every windows demo I've tried.
