Device selection seems to always fail

Linux zendesk 6.12.21-gentoo-dist #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Apr  5 21:37:30 CEST 2025 x86_64 AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
~$ swhkd -V
Simple-Wayland-HotKey-Daemon 1.3.0-dev

No matter the name of the device I use, swhkd always fails with No valid keyboard device was detected!. I suspect this line is the culprit: the value_delimitor should be a character that never appears in a device name. Since device names almost always include spaces, splitting the argument on spaces incorrectly splits a single name into many incorrect names.

@newtoallofthis123 Can you look into this issue?

I'm not very familiar with clap.

can you give the command you are using with the device name? Would like to understand and test on my system

I'm using swhkd -d -D 'Keychron Keychron K17 Pro Keyboard'. Changing the value delimitor to ',' does fix this specific issue on my machine

I see, I dont think setting it to , is the best option can be to set it to ' or " itself

can you just sanity check this delim and check whether ' works? If not am willing to try this out myself as well
