Keyviz is a free and open-source software to visualise your ⌨️ keystrokes in real time! Let your audience know what handy shortcuts/keys you're pressing during screencasts, presentations, collaborations, or whenever you need it.
Don't restrain yourself to just black & white! Change the visualisation's style, size, colour (modifier and regular keys), border, icon, and symbols.
Powerful and easy-to-use configuration options.
- Filter normal keys and only display shortcuts like Ctrl + S
- Adjust the visualisation position on the screen
- Decide how much the visualisation lingers on the screen before animating out
- Switch between animation presets to animate your visualisation in & out
You can download the latest version of keyviz from the Github Releases page. For the installer, unzip the downloaded file, run the installer and follow the familiar steps to install keyviz.
Or, install keyviz using Winget:
winget install mulaRahul.Keyviz
Or from Scoop:
scoop bucket add extras # first, add the bucket
scoop install keyviz
Alternatively, you can get the portable version which doesn't require installation but may or may not work on every system.
You can also check out this video tutorial.
Follow the above installation process to start. Then, you can start visualising your keystrokes by just running the application.
To open the settings window, find the keyviz icon on the right side of the Taskbar or Taskbar > Hidden Icons ^. Then right-click on the icon and select Settings.
The settings window will appear, from which you customise the style, appearance, and other general visualisation settings. You can also pause the visualisations temporarily by left-clicking on the tray icon.
If you're getting a .dll
missing error after installing the application, you're missing the required Visual C++ redistributables. You can get the same from here VSC++ Redist.
