I've seen several screencasts (recorded on Mac OS X) which show a nice little "toast" indicating which shortcut key is being pressed by the screencaster, typically in the middle of the screen. Is this a feature of the screencasting software? Is there an app that does this that stands alone?
I regularly do presentations for programming classes, and I want a way to show my audience what shortcuts I'm activating.
@lyricsboy nice to see the sources, but where I can download the binary.. ;) – jm666 – 2015-04-23T15:10:16.437
6@jm666 You can install it from brew:
brew cask install keycastr

Keycastr currently appears broken on Mojave and Mouseposé has been broken/abandoned (?) for years as per App Store comments. Visualize also hasn't been updated in years, but it still works fine on macOS 10.14

KeyCastr had been abandoned, and it needed a little modernization love, so I forked it here: https://github.com/bignerdranch/keycastr
