#### A strictly confined LinkedIn shortcut daemon.

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.
