keypress-overlay

Display an overlay of your current keypresses

This is helpful for tutorial videos where you want to display which commands you are using.

keypress-overlay

Keypresses will only show if pressing a command(ctrl or shift or alt) or are whitelisted on keycodes.whitelist.json files.

You can customize how they are shown on index.html's css, and also modify command names on keycodes.US.json.

Any bugs and new ideas are welcome on Issues. And you're welcome to send pull-requests.
