I am now using it in conjunction with Hypercam's own Keystroke display feature. The OSD works great, but there are some key combinations it does not show very well which is why I use it together with Hypercam's keystroke display tool. Here's a tutorial I created on Youtube using this tool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGtBQRayRoM Many Thanks to Salvatore for creating this wonderful tool!

I'm doing a short intro to houdini for a few co-students tomorrow and this will certainly come in handy. thanks a lot Salvatore.

Having keep in mind and remember to say which hot keys are being used breaks your flow so much you can forget what you were doing (oooh so many times). This overlay tool is so useful, so big thanks to Salvatore for writing this one up. I have to say that this has made my life so much easier as a tutorial writer now.

I've been discussing this with Ton long ago. Blender could be creating a text file with timecoded device events (mouse and keystrokes) to be used as subtitle track in video dvd's... But editing would be a problem. So it blender should also be storing the screendumps,... It became a SOC project but was never finished. Now it seems that video-dvd is not the best way to do tutorials. dvd-rom can fit much more hours of screen capture. The issue stays if you would want to be able to turn the keyevents overdraw off on playback. If not, this tool is perfect. Or yes, blender could draw little icons on screen in a "tutorial record" mode. If yes, then flash might be a good playback format to look at. flash can read external xml files and has no problem drawing over video. "Couln't this be built into Blender itself?"
