### USB Hubs
USB hubs may prevent Apple branded keyboards from loading properly or other Apple specific keyboards that are intended to make use of the "hid_apple" driver. Without this driver it is not possible to run the following command and have it swap alt and cmd.
```
echo '1' | sudo tee -a /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/swap_opt_cmd
```
This is required so that Apple and Windows keyboards can co-exist with the exact same keymappings, provided by setxkbmap. The solution for now is to avoid using a usb hub for your keyboard. Other possible solutions may be finding a way to patch the hid_apple module to accept other vendor and product id's so that it will still load the driver properly.
Other solutions may involve implementing a separate Mac system option in Kinto with a keyswap specific to a usb hub situation, however it will not be possible to have a Windows keyboard (aka internal laptop keyboard) working with the same keymap at the same time.
No longer an issue. If the Apple hid_apple driver is not detected then the installer will only install a keymap that will work with Apple keyboards that have no driver attached. Otherwise a keymap that is compatiable with both Windows and Apple keyboards will be applied.
### KDE with Konsole or QT5 apps may block Super+ custom keymaps
