Annotate special keys #23

This is a feature idea.

E.g. when I press [TAB] or even [ENTER], that might not be obvious for the people watching the recording. It would be great to be able to "show" some of these keypresses, similarly to mouse clicks. There could be a label [TAB] on the top right that appears when I press these buttons.

That's a neat idea. If you have a need for this now, you could use a combination of licecap + keyboard jedi, or another app like it for your platform.

@rarrarrarr That link points to a deleted question.

I too would like this feature. It should also include:

Editing keys: Backspace and Delete.
Functions keys.
Meta keys: Alt, Ctrl, Meta (Mac & Windows command keys) and Shift.
Navigation: arrows, Page Up, Page Down, Home, End.

Would love to see this too. With the option to show all keypresses or just some as above, along with the option to show mouse clicks visually (L/R/dbl). Then licecap is the go to for any kind of explanatory screen recording. Might this be on the horizon @justinfrankel?
