Keymon should display a history of keyboard actions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While you can see the last key pressed, it's hard to follow a sequence of 
actions. What would be better for making screen casts of programs like Blender 
or Gimp where lots of modifier are used is the following:

Instead of showing a box that has all the keys, such that they bold or unbold, 
show a "log" of actions. Each action is a click, mouse down, key combination 
(Ctrl-Shift-x).

So, for example, in Blender if you were creating a marker for motion tracking 
which requires several key presses, you would see on the bottom:

[Ctrl-(LMB)] [g] [LMB drag] [Enter]

which shows the actual sequence. Having a "drag action" would be great too, 
which we can detect.

It's certainly more work to implement because you have to collapse the sequence 
of presses and movements into logical "actions" which may differ for some 
programs (e.g. is pressing and releasing control on its own an action?)

This would be awesome though.

It's a great idea, and suggested before.
I think it's different enough that I'd probably create a separate app for that 
(possibly part of the same package).
