as of right now you have to restart yubioath-krunner each time you plug in a yubikey.

instead it should be state aware and fetch credentials as soon as a yubikey is plugged in.

maybe udev? https://forum.yubico.com/viewtopic303e.html?f=23&t=1143 maybe something else?

Good idea, will look into this more. I'm a bit iffy about using udev because it'll introduce a lot of complexity. Maybe we could poll ykman list every few seconds and see if a new YubiKey was added, and if so refresh the credential list.

as a matter of fact ykman is written in python. i wonder if there is a decent binding that already does this job out of the box for long running processes.
