SUMMARY
Demonstrative video: https://youtu.be/Zz0h_poOtw0
Currently if I want to visualize a keypress for the sake of bug reporting, I need to use the ShowMeTheKey program. Sadly setting it up with a tiling script is always a hassle. It would be nice if Desktop Effects had a an entry for "Keypress overlay". Alongside Mouse Mark and Mouse Click Animation, it would cover all my visualization needs.
