display key *names*

[xkcd386at]

Awesome project thank you.

What I would like to see is the key names, at least for non-printing keys (like Enter, Escape, etc.), so when a user sees a demo he sees across the bottom what keys are being typed.

I've seen some tools do this. Apologies if I am not explaining it well.

One way to implement this might be to add the feature to ttyd which is what vhs uses to render the terminal.

This is something I've wanted pretty badly for another project of mine where the keypresses are important to show in the recording. I've made some headway over here.

P.S. After talking about it with someone on the Charm Discord, I decided that it should be done in a third program, rather than inside ttyd or vhs.

P.P.S. After talking to Maas, it seems like this is now something that will hopefully be merged into vhs!
