Keystroke visualizer for GUI version Emacs

This package is a keystroke visualizer for GUI version Emacs.
You no longer need to use external tools to display keystrokes when creating screencasts!

emacs-keypression

Install

Keypression is available in melpa. You can install keypression via package-install M-x package-install [ret] keypression [ret]

Usage

Add the following to your .emacs. (This is not necessary if you installed from MELPA)

(require 'keypression)

Then, if you want to display keystrokes, do the following:

M-x keypression-mode

Run it again to turn it off.

The default is a simple display, so you can customize it as follows.

(setq keypression-use-child-frame nil
      keypression-fade-out-delay 1.0
      keypression-frame-justify 'keypression-left-justified
      keypression-cast-command-name t
      keypression-cast-command-name-format "%s  %s"
      keypression-combine-same-keystrokes t
      keypression-font-face-attribute '(:width normal :height 200 :weight bold))

emacs-keypression

To change the display position, do the following.

(setq keypression-x-offset 100
      keypression-y-offset 100)

Restriction

On Windows, child-frame works well, but on Linux (GTK+3) and macOS versions, child-frame is disabled by default because of a problem.
If child-frame is disabled, all the input key display frames are displayed on the taskbar.
I think there is no problem to create a screencast, but it seems to be difficult to switch applications.
