Yes, that works!

With the other half of my problem, I’ve tried loading stored keys both on Fedora and Debian - same error. The problem occurs when trying to read the private key, using the helper script in .gnupg/onlykey.  
It seems to be attempting to access the private key before connecting to the OnlyKey:

- Using generated keys works, as mentioned.
- When using generated keys, if the OK is not connected, it errors out, as expected.
- Try running the command to load a stored key, and it makes no difference whether the key is even connected - the code to connect to the OK interface is not run, before trying to list the private keys.
