DONE - IDEA: Display mouse clicks and key presses

(1/5) > >>

bmm:
I don't know how easy/hard this will be to program but the idea seems simple to me.

The idea is to display the pressed keys/key combinations and mouse clicks on-screen live. This can be useful when recording screencasts and you want to show every action that you actually do.

I don't know of any existing programs for Windows to do this but there is actually a cool one for Linux (http://programmer-art.org/key-status) which can be seen used in this screencast: http://e-learning.vslib.cz/%7Ehnidek/captured-videos/scale_stiffness.avi

mouser:
that's quite a brilliant idea for screencasting - and i think would be pretty easy to write.

skrommel:
ShowOff shows what keys and buttons are pushed down.

Edit the ini file to decide what keys to display.

i just love it when skrommel codes up something like this as if it were nothing.

i hope people who are reading this forum realize that skrommel just makes it look easy - you could spend a week trying to find someone to code this and have no luck.

any way we could get the key pressed to display in a really big text font, like half an inch high, etc. or is that not so easy with ahk?
