Add Keypress screencasting section #185

Open quazar-omega opened 1 year ago

quazar-omega commented 1 year ago

Description

Short description of the changes: Added a section to cover the screencasting of keys, i.e. show on screen the keypresses of any type, including modifier keys.

Opened as draft to first see if https://github.com/ammgws/wshowkeys actually works or not and if yes move it to the "Where is my" section (and also remove the others?)

Checklist

I'll update the code as soon as I can
