wow!! it can help in increasing/improving typing speed a hell lot.. liked it so so so very much
thanks for creating and posting it

smorgasbord, glad you like it

This is a really good little script. This could be very helpful for programs that do not have the key press display for tutorials or self improvement. The first software I remember with this feature was Blender. I see tons of potential here to expand its features or mod it to display all kinds of different information. So many possibilities. Thanks for this.

Cheers!

Very nice,but Is not it possible to detect joystick buttons too?

empardopo, try this: (Add the red text to the "Create hotkey" section.)

; #################################
; Create hotkey

Loop, 32 ; Joy1-Joy32

Hotkey, % "~*Joy" A_Index, Display

Should set the gui or image's alpha channel then can be recorded

What are the main differences to OSD (http://ahkscript.org/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3966) by maestrith?

[tmplinshi]

hi, hoppfrosch, you can have a try.

Here is a gif screenshot:

I have no idea. Please try re-download KeypressOSD.ahk and install latest version of AutoHotkey.

How can I modify the script to only show some custom info when ctrl is pressed? I would like to show some basic info from a couple of variables when I hold down ctrl?

Cool script but how to make that mouse buttons show? For example ALT+LMB?

Adding this, I have a problem when I have connected two joysticks to my computer.
The script shows Joy4 when I press the button4 in my joystick 1 or 2. Is it possible solve it?

Thanks

Russian keyboard layout support

Description

I want that when I switch to Russian layout of the keyboard, the script showed the Russian letters, but not English.

Now script showed only English letters when at me Russian layout of the keyboard is included.



Thanks.
