Keyviz
Keyviz is a keyboard and mouse visualizer that renders real-time input activity as a customizable on-screen overlay. It serves as a presentation input aid, displaying keystrokes and pointer events as animated graphics to make technical demonstrations and screen recordings easier for an audience to follow.
The tool differentiates itself through deep visual customization, offering input layout themes for different keyboard types and the ability to modify the colors, sizes, and screen positions of the overlays. It supports specific visual effects for key groups and provides a system for labeling shortcut combinations with descriptive text captions.
The project covers a broad range of input monitoring capabilities, including mouse activity tracking with animated icons for clicks and scrolling. It also includes input display filtering to control which keys appear on screen and a sequence history to maintain a visual trail of recent actions.
