Hotkeys & Write text

Hotkeys and write text actions require you are in the input group and you have the following udev rule

1. Add the udev rule

   sudo sh -c "echo 'KERNEL==\"uinput\", SUBSYSTEM==\"misc\", OPTIONS+=\"static_node=uinput\", TAG+=\"uaccess\", GROUP=\"input\", MODE=\"0660\"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/99-streamdeck-osplugin.rules"
   

2. Create the input Group (if not already present):

   sudo groupadd input

3. Add yourself to the input group

   sudo usermod -aG input $USER

4. Restart your computer to apply the changes

Troubleshooting

If the hotkey and write text actions don't do anything (or their config shows "Missing permission") even though you followed the steps above:

1. Check the permissions of the uinput device:

   ls -l /dev/uinput

   It should be owned by the input group and be group read- and writable (crw-rw----).
2. Make sure no other udev rule overrides the one above. Rules for uinput left behind by other Stream Deck tools are a common cause:

   grep -rl uinput /etc/udev/rules.d /usr/lib/udev/rules.d

   Remove the conflicting files and keep 99-streamdeck-osplugin.rules.
3. Reload the rules and reboot:

   sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
