Hi Johan,

I installed Fedora on to a spare partition and LilyQuick worked! A bit
annoying :-) I thought it might have to do with SELinux permissions,
but it appears not.

Could you try typing

sudo cat /dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple__Inc_Apple_Keyboard-event-kbd

(replacing my keyboard name with the name you have in LQConfig.lua).
If you see garbage when you type, it should be connecting to the
keyboard correctly. Otherwise maybe the keyboard name is wrong.
