Disable Yubikey from typing gibberish on Mac : r/yubikey

https://www.reddit.com/r/yubikey/comments/1k6k5pv/disable_yubikey_from_typing_gibberish_on_mac/
Long-pressing a Yubikey Nano will generate a 44-character random-looking string like "ccccccjlkgjlevtdernkbbnrrvhcvgbljgchbgbdbvgk" as an OTP token because it emulates a keyboard. This is really annoying for Yubikey Nano, which you can leave plugged into your laptop at all times, and gets sporadically triggered by my lap, which my laptop sits on for a long time. I wanted to disable this. Unfortunately, Yubikey Manager is deprecated, so the existing Reddit documentation doesn't help. Instead: - Install Yubikey Manager - Click "Toggle Applications" (see https://imgur.com/a/rhvcPlE) - Uncheck "Yubico OTP" (see https://imgur.com/a/rhvcPlE)

Python 3.10 (or later) library and command line tool for configuring a YubiKey. If you’re looking for a graphical application, check out Yubico Authenticator. tl;dr: to disable the keyboard oops every time I hit the yubikey: brew install ykman && ykman config usb --disable otp

Make is an old tool, an assembly language of sorts for build systems. Many have tried to replace it. Many have tried to reinvent it. Most people prefer to avoid it if at all possible. So why use it to manage dotfiles of all things?

Shelf (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shelf is an interface feature in NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, and is used as a repository to store links to commonly used files, directories and programs, and as a temporary "holding" place to move/copy files and directories around in the file system hierarchy. In Mac OS X, items may be dragged onto the sidebar area of the Finder while holding the Apple key, but these do not behave as placeholders and cannot be manipulated in the below manner.
