Using openssh with OnlyKey is a different thing then using the agent. If you are using the FIDO2 security key feature of openssh here is a doc for how to do that - [OpenSSH | Docs](https://docs.crp.to/openssh.html)

Since you are using Linux also make sure UDEV rule is set up correctly - [Using OnlyKey with Linux | Docs](https://docs.crp.to/linux.html)

If you decide to try the agent instead for SSH and GPG usage that guide is here - [OnlyKey SSH/GPG agent | Docs](https://docs.crp.to/onlykey-agent.html)
