this version works....but with another bug:

bugreport I am getting a similar error when trying to enable the add-on.

nutti commented 2 years ago

Some of the issues are same as old issue. See FAQ. I recommend you to use the latest version. Especially, v3.0 is too old to run in the latest Blender.

I could not reproduce your error (Blender 3.4 alpha, Screencast Keys v3.8). Is it still popup when you reinstall Blender or add-on?

luckychris commented 2 years ago

if i use 3.8 and blender 3.4 alpha - > screencast keys doesn't even appear in the add-on list

@luckychris

Did you follow the installation process? I think this is an environmental issue.

luckychris commented 2 years ago

yes, i tried the automatic installation -> as i wrote, after choosing the zip file the add-on does not appear in the add-on list

luckychris commented 2 years ago

ok, after deinstalling and installing again 5x ...now it works...but i still cannot see the x after pressing G.

my version:

Blender 3.4 alpha

still x not working

luckychris commented 2 years ago

and even checking "get event aggressively" doesn't solve this problem, as you can see in my gif.

luckychris commented 2 years ago

it's veeeeeery weird, after restarting blender...now it works....i have no idea why....

nutti commented 2 years ago

@luckychris

Get Event Aggressively needs to be enabled before enabling Screencast Keys. I think this is the cause of the issue.

There is not weird. You have to restart your Blender always when add-ons. Same Avastar add-ons. Each time restart and install add-one always.

Many other kind add-ons you must restart Blender before install.

@mac4kent : your quote:"You have to restart your Blender always when add-ons"

sorry, but this is nonsense. I have installed a lot of add-ons and just a very few like Flipfluids - need a restart of Blender, but they are giving a visible warning to the user that they should restart Blender. Would be helpful if screencast keys would give that hint too.

Viewer Warning I see that one before many times. I can send my youtube link. https://youtu.be/g-yP4lBH6Sg
