And should that console be a Sony product (maybe it works on an xbox too), do you know that you can use a paired bluetooth keyboard for the text input? No more triangle-L3 for special chars...
But don't get your hopes too high, that's all you can use the keyboard for.

XBox has the chatpad if you play with the controller. Or a normal usb keyboard
The chatpad is nothing short of brilliant since it attaches directly to the controller and has some xtra functions (volume buttons for headphones, take screenshot and take movie dedicated keys, etc)

Should you buy Microsoft's Xbox Chatpad?
Microsoft's Xbox Chatpad is a useful controller accessory that lets you type faster than you ever could with the controller itself, but is it worth buying when USB keyboards and the ...

Thank you @Para Handy for the tip regarding the boarding ship indicator! No more back and forth shuffling...
Most embarrassing moment for me (although, no one was watching, so that probably does not count as embarrassing): right after I purchased Horizons, I was attempting landing for roughly 10 minutes on a non-landable planet...

Hands up time.
This is a new one to me! Never noticed it... Will have to look for this... dear, dear.
Heh, same here. But it took either 1 min or 2nd landing before I had that 'Duuuuuuuuuh' moment.
It was there from Horizons introduction - it is certainly shown on page 156 of the manual v2.0 (Horizons update) which file is dated Dec 2015 on my PC.

EDIT - redid the crop so the image includes @Chris Simon's point about finding the garage in a port.
P.S. I see their "role switch interface" is rather more polite than "crotch UI panel"?
Wooah what what? Wait.
How do you drive your SRV while your ship is docked at a port? You dock first and drive? I didnt know this? Duuuh, I gotta go try.

yep. Dock & deploy - it is most fun in the big circular cities, or at engineers.
Well. another thing I learned... doh!
Remember to not shoot at anything within the no-fire zone.
Which means you have to drive 7km (4miles?) away from the garage before you can mine anything. The fine is not that high, though.
Regards, Dirk
Been there done that at an engineers base, the fine wasn’t an issue but being refused access was, I had too drive out of the no fire zone and summon my ship to me then fly back to pay the fine.
Yeah, the first time I went out tooling around in the SRV, I saw that I was running low on fuel, and was finding nothing to scoop up, so I headed back to the ship. Parked in the garage, hit the "park the car" button...and nothing. Hmmm...back out of the garage, check my alignment, pull back in, hit the button...nothing.
This went on for about 10 minutes, then I get the "You are about to run out of fuel and Die" message...Oh Bloody Hell...luckily, I vaguely remembered that I could synth fuel for the SRV, so I go to the "Make Fuel" page, Make Fuel, and start the "Parking the D@#M CAR' sequence again. Nope...Not having it. Another few minutes goes by and I happen to look down at the lower right of the screen...I see the Board Ship box is dark. Thinking, "Well Yeah, that is what I want to do", I hit the gas accidently and the SRV gooses forward. The Board Ship box lights briefly and then goes out (because I went too far).
SHWEEEET!!!!! I back up slowly and the little box turns a lovely shade of blue. I then hit the "park the car" button and the ship takes me into it's loving embrace.
Elite Dangerous....Because Elite Easy just doesn't sound as much fun.

Wait wait wait. Is it possible to deploy the SRV also on an orbiter station? Nope, right
? Just on planet ones?
No you cannot deploy in a space station, if you want to drive in one of those then you will have to deploy the SRV on a planet then with the help of friends fly it into space and through the station slot.Wait wait wait. Is it possible to deploy the SRV also on an orbiter station? Nope, right
I was doing a planetary mission yesterday, and I'd never tried turret mode before, so I gave it a go. My problem then was I couldn't find any way to get out of it again...
Luckily it was in Ceos / Sothis, so there were plenty of people around I could ask - it's the left stick that needs clicking on a control pad.
B*stards still threw me in a prison station 400Ly away, and I had to work my way back again - during which I was almost stranded and out of fuel, considering a call to the Fuel Rats, because I've never restricted my routes to scoopable stars - I was able to find a very close star I could scoop from, which was damn lucky !
