I don't have a YubiKey, so I haven't tried this myself. If it really
identifies itself as a keyboard, then it's probably necessary to
follow the USB keyboard-specific instructions:

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/#how-to-use-a-usb-keyboard

Specifically, make sure you edit the RPC policy rules, if you haven't.

Also, you might find some hints here:

[qubes-users] How to attach a Yubikey as a normal, extra usb keyboard only to specific AppVMs?

[@LeeteqXV (Twitter)]

I have followed this guide: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/

And I can see the Yubikey, and attach it to the AppVM, then see that it 
is attached to the AppVM with the qvm-usb command.


However, nothing happens inside the AppVM when I push the Yubikey button 
to send the password to the field with the cursor, neither in a browser 
window nor in Gedit.


As far as I know, the Yubikeys are identifying themselves as a 100% 
standard keyboard without the need for any driver on any system, so the 
push of its button should be understood by the Qube to be normal 
keyboard key presses.


What may be wrong?

Regards,

@LeeteqXV
