Description

Show your audience which keys you press! Keystroke Pro displays every key as you press it, and shows keycap visualizations in a stunningly elegant way on your screen in an instant. Displaying keystrokes while lecturing, sharing, and recording your screen helps your audience to follow along with ease. Keyboard shortcuts are also essential for app demos, presentations, and how-to videos. Let your audience see which keys you’re pressing, so you can focus on your actual topic.

Works great for shortcuts presentatoin

Long pressing modifier key works as expected but pressing normal key like [space] shows endless key strokes. It'd be better that both of them work in the same way. Designers keep pressing [space] to move canvas around in Adobe Illustrator or other many graphic application.

Not working on full screen mode

Visually amazing.
But tried to use it with using an app in full screen, it won't show the keys :(
Keeping the space pressed will show a vibrating key all the time.

Also, something happened in last version that in settings in the Display tab, it won't update the selections.

Can't drag the window

Not usable. It can only be moved to screen edges. I sent a feature request via email but no response. Terrible user support.
