Screencast Keys Add-on now Supports Blender 2.8
Nutti writes:
The Add-on “Screencast Keys” has been developed by many developers. “Screencast Keys” is very useful add-on for the tutorial creator to display the status of Keyboard/Mouse. It continues to be improved by the developer. For example, new features are added to this add-on in version 2.x.
- Display Operation executed last time
- Change area/region/window to display status
Recently, the last active developer quits to develop this add-on. So, I ported this add-on to Blender 2.8 and released as version 3.0. I’m going to maintain this add-on from now, and accept any requests to improve this add-on.
This add-on works in both Blender 2.7x and Blender 2.8.Lastly, I would like to say thanks for the original developer (Paulo Gomes, Bart Crouch, John E. Herrenyo, Gaia Clary, Pablo Vazquez, chromoly) of this add-on.
ehm isnt this the 3rd key addon now?
Works great in 2.8! Awesome! Thank you for this awesome addon, will make the task of creating tutorials much easier :)
I don’t know other software that has this useful possibility of display — without the use of other software — the operations the user are doing. This indicates the vocation of Blender to be a communitary software, in the most profound and nobel meaning of the word “communitary”.
does it show the amounts as you type them?
E.g. Grab the default cube and type Z 2 to move the Cube 2 units in the Z axis.
I had to get a very specialised version of the screen keys to capture that information for a specific video “Two minute tentacle” https://youtu.be/eJDUTIHAieA
Not in the version I am using but those do show on the header bar in 2.8 so it doesn’t really matter.
Cool! Thanks for that.
I would Like this to make Tutorials for other Software also, so it would bei great If I could Open Blender and minimize it and use other Apps and still have the Addon display what I type.
@Marcus,
that will not work i think. Since your working outside Blender, how will it register the keys being hit??? That is impossible. Better look for a desktop app which does the same. They are out there, just try google.

Hi, I try to install the plug in but I use blender 2.8 last revision but not work.
Thank you, for your support.
Hi,
Sorry, I could not get your issue with your description written in here.
Could you give me more information about your issue you face with, please?
You can also report your issue at https://github.com/nutti/Screencast-Keys/issues.
Thanks.
I download the add and in the last version ov blender the addon not work, or not appare in the tab , the message tell me the plug is installeated, but don’t have tab or shelf
The fact that this works after maximizing and restoring a region amazes me. I’m writing a similar addon for my own project and how this addon handled the maximize/restore has enlightened me.
I install the addon but I not see any buttons to activate it….!!!!
Did you try to activate the right slide bar (N shortcut) to select the “Screencast Keys” tab ?
yess of course
how do I install this ? Addon and selecting the zip file does not install it’
Hi!! Blender 2.82 comes with Screencast Keys in it. To activate it, type “N” and go to the tab “Screencast Keys”.
I am still using 2.79 :)
Ah, ok! I found this YouTube video about how to install the addon in version 2.79:

I hope this can help you.
If not, post a comment here and I will try to help.

In the future maybe can you make it so that it also screen captures (and puts the image into a notes document) or takes notes into a word document. So a user can watch the tutorial and refer to notes

It is problematic for me that the screencast keys is vanishing when I swap to another workspace…like if I swap from Layout to Shading workspace…..then I need to disable > enable the add on again..and if I go back to Layout workspace I AGAIN have to disable > enable the screencast keys add on.
Oh I forgot to mention…this is with both version 3.5 and 3.6 in Blender 2.92 and Blender 2.93 (Windows 10 Pro)
