Uses a Client/Server IPC architecture to bridge hardware events to the user's graphical session cleanly. Why this exists Modern Linux display servers (Wayland) heavily restrict background processes from interacting with the graphical session. quick-linkedin solves this using a secure, strictly confined Client/Server architecture. A root-level hardware listener securely detects your keystrokes and passes a trigger to a lightweight user-space agent, opening your browser natively without violating sandbox security policies. Installation & Setup Guide Because this application reads raw keyboard inputs to detect the global shortcut, Canonical's strict sandboxing requires you to manually grant hardware permissions after installation. Please follow these exact steps to get it running: 1. Install the Snap 2. Grant Hardware Access You must explicitly allow the snap to read your keyboard events: Bash: sudo snap connect quick-linkedin:raw-input 3. Configure Your Keyboard Run the built-in setup script to tell the daemon which keyboard to listen to. You will be prompted to enter the absolute path to your keyboard event node (e.g., /dev/input/event3). Bash sudo quick-linkedin.setup (Tip: If you aren't sure which eventX node is your primary keyboard, you can find it by installing and running sudo evtest or cat /proc/bus/input/devices). 4. Log Out and Log Back In The graphical User Agent is designed to start automatically when you log into your desktop environment. You must log out of your Linux session and log back in for this autostart to trigger for the first time. Troubleshooting The shortcut does nothing: Check if the background daemon is running smoothly by viewing its logs: Bash snap logs -f quick-linkedin.daemon If it says "Cannot open device", you likely entered the wrong keyboard path or forgot to run the snap connect command. Fixing a wrong keyboard path: Simply run sudo quick-linkedin.setup again with the correct path. Testing without logging out: If you want to test the tool immediately without logging out of GNOME/KDE, you can manually start the user agent in a terminal (do NOT use sudo): Bash quick-linkedin.agent # LinkedIn Shortcut Daemon A strictly confined, background Linux daemon that listens for a global keyboard shortcut (`Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Super + L`) and instantly launches LinkedIn in the user's default web browser. ### Package name * quick-linkedin --- ### License * AGPL-3.0 --- ### Last updated * 29 April 2026 - latest/stable * 29 April 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Source code * [github.com/jejelegagnant/LinkedIn-Shortcut](https://github.com/jejelegagnant/LinkedIn-Shortcut "https://github.com/jejelegagnant/LinkedIn-Shortcut") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/jejelegagnant/LinkedIn-Shortcut/issues](https://github.com/jejelegagnant/LinkedIn-Shortcut/issues "https://github.com/jejelegagnant/LinkedIn-Shortcut/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/quick-linkedin/fedora#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Fedora and install quick-linkedin Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line: ``` sudo dnf install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` ### Install quick-linkedin To install quick-linkedin, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install quick-linkedin ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
