Request: Show modifier keys on the left when aligned to the right

[jlampel]

Description about the feature
The best place for me to put Screencast Keys is the bottom right of the viewport, since it's out of the way and doesn't block the redo panel. But, when a modifier key is pressed, it jumps the mouse around and is hard to follow. If the feature is aligned to the right, could the modifier keys appear to the left?

Are you willing to contribute about this feature. (Yes/No)
Yes, I wouldn't mind taking a crack at it if it's a simple enough fix.

This feature looks good to me.

You need to fix below two functions.

• https://github.com/nutti/Screencast-Keys/blob/276edd874efa93755e15e36506cb23d784cdcf88/src/screencast_keys/ops.py#L855

If you think this fixes are difficult, I will tackle this issue. What do you think?

Sorry for the delay on this, I started digging into the code and my initial idea didn't work but I would like to take another crack at it to learn more about how custom drawing works in Blender.

@visualworx That sounds like a duplicate of #108 or #103 and should be fixed already. If you've tried it on the latest update (download a .zip of the code and not the release to test the update) maybe post in one of those threads with more information.

@jlampel

Thanks. If you still want to contribute this feature, I will wait.

It is no problem that you quit to tackle this issue. In the case, I will tackle this issue instead.

Ok, sorry I wasn't able to get to this. If you could tackle it I would love to see the changes!
