Screenkey.ahk

Screenkey.ahk is a tool that displays the keys that you type on the screen. It can be useful for screencasts or remote help.

It is implemented as an Autohotkey script.

Customization

There are a few customization options that can be tweaked at the top of the script:

Font settings:

fontSize = 20
fontName = Verdana
fontStyle = Bold

Maximum number of keys that can be displayed on the screen at any time:

numButtons := 5

Gui transparency:

transparent := true

Distance from the buttons to the edge of the window

winMargin := 25

Speed typing settings:

useSpeedTimer := true
speedTimer := 1000

When useSpeedTimer is true, previous keys will be cleared when typing new keys after the specified interval (speedTimer) This is handy when trying to show key combos.
