screenkey | screencast tool to display your keys

screenkey is a Python library. screenkey has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. However screenkey build file is not available. You can download it from GitLab.

Display time: Persistence (in seconds) of the output window after typing has stopped. Defaults to 2.5 seconds. When the window is persistent, display time still controls the time before the text is cleared. Persistent window: Forces the output window to be always visible, irregardless of typing activity. Mostly useful for interactive window placement and/or "fixed" positioning. Screen: Physical screen/monitor used for the output window. Position: Position of the output window. The position is normally relative to the chosen screen. If a window has been selected with "Select window/region", the position becomes relative to the window. If "fixed" is chosen, the output window’s position and size are specified explicitly. See `Interactive placement`_ for more details. Font: Font used for the output window. A scalable font and wide Unicode coverage is required (the DejaVu family is highly recommended). Size: Size of the font used in the output window. Chooses proportionally between 8/12/24% of the screen size. When "fixed" positioning is used, size is ignored and the font will fill the available height of the output window. Keyboard mode: Choose the translation method of keyboard events. Backspace mode: Controls the effect of "backspace" on the text in the output window. Modifiers mode: Select how modifiers keys (such as Control, Alt) are displayed in the output window. "Normal" uses traditional PC names (Ctrl+A) while "Mac" uses Mac symbols directly (+A). The "Emacs" mode will display Emacs-style shortened keyboard sequences (C-A). Show Modifier sequences only: Only show modifier/control sequences in the output window. Bare, shifted or translated letters are not shown. Always show Shift: Shift is normally hidden when the control sequence includes a letter that can differentiate between a shifted/non-shifted key. For example, Shift + "Control+a" is normally shown just as "Control+A" (notice the capital "A"). Show Whitespace characters: Convert regular whitespace characters (tabs and spaces) to a visible representation instead of showing a blank. Newlines are also hidden when unambiguous in multiline mode. Compress repeats: When enabled, contiguous repeated sequences are truncated after the requested threshold. A counter of total occurrences is shown instead, which is generally more legible.
