  Description     : tool to notify you when your YubiKey is waiting for a touch

 This package provides a tool that can detect when the attached YubiKey
 is waiting for your touch. It is designed to be integrated with other UI
 components to display a visual indicator.
 .
 By default this tool offers a feed through a socket to other UI
 integrations and natively supports sending notifications through
 libnotify to a desktop implementing the freedesktop.org Desktop
 Notifications Specification. Other integrations might exist for your
 WM to show a touch indicator natively.

The default setup with SSH security keys is to wait for a touch, and not
doing so requires additional client and server configuration. However
there is zero visual notification, the SSH client just hangs. Similar
story with GPG if you enable touch required on the keys. This tool
helps making the user aware. It'd IMO be even better if something would
draw a prompt over the screen, but here we are.

Kind regards
