So if you type a string it doesn’t display the whole string. The shortcoming of this application is that it only displays one key on the screen at a time. The version of the KeyPose that I tested was released in August 2008. Also although you can change the background color of the window and set the transparency level, you can not set it to slowly fade out. You can change the dimensions of the window, but that does not impact how much text is able to be shown. Frankly, it looks quite ulgy. Strings of text are separated with an underscore and you have the text showing up a Windows 95 style window. osdHotKey does not look as sleek and elegant as QiPress Lite. It worked on my Windows 8 machine without any issues. Released in March 2007, osdHotkey also shows your keyboard strokes and mouse clicks in on the screen in real time. The other reason it is listed as number three is because as of September 2014, development and support for KeyDisplayer has stopped and Windows 8 support is not guaranteed. There is not a free or shareware version of Key Displayer available for me to test which is part of the reason I have it listed in the number three position. It has a sleek interface that resembles QiPress Lite. Key Displayer is a commercial product designed in August 2011 for Windows 7. At 100kb it has an extremely small footprint.

One cool feature of Ke圜astOW that I did not see in QiPress is that it pushes old entries up the screen as and slowly fades them out as you type new keys. Updated in late August 2014, Ke圜astOW includes some of the features provided with QiPress Lite.

German, French, Hindi and Gujarati keyboards and input methods supported.

Display A-Z keystrokes in true case, extended keys (ä, é, õ, û, ©, µ and more).

Multi-monitor support, with precision-positioning controls.

Customizable background image and text font, rounded corners, customizable date-time display, customizable volume bar.

There are two versions available, Lite and Pro. The pro version costs 11.99 and comes with several added features including: It displays all keystokes and mouse movements on the screen. The old entry disappears and a new one appears once you click on the space key. I like this product because the interface is clean and because it easily customizable.

My favorite app is QiPress which works with Windows XP/Vista/7/8. In this post I rank (from best to worst) all of the applications I was able to locate. Every wondered how to display keystrokes for screencasts on windows? If you have ever watched a video tutorial, then you probably know it is sometimes helpful to display what the instructor is typing, especially things like CSS, HTML or other custom code, on the screen.
