Description

Showkeys is a simple program to display keys being pressed on the screen.

It is useful while making presentations and screencasts. The audience will be able to see the keys being pressed.

It is similar to key-mon. Key-mon has more features than showkeys. The advantages of showkeys are

  1. Doesn't use GTK/GNOME.
  2. Uses libXosd to display keys directly onto the screen.
  3. No floating windows that always need to be on top. This is very useful if you're using a tiling WM like Xmonad.
  4. Keystroke history. key-mon has this but doesn't show modifiers. showkeys does this using an Emacs style key notation.
