Screencast with key status tool
Posted by chrisdesign on September 29, 2009
In the next days i will start produce screencasts only on a xubuntu-pc .
Well someone now Heathenx Screencasters. I like it very much. He use the tool key status monitor.
This is a very useful tool to show watchers what you doing with your mouse and which keys/shortcuts you use.

But don`t like the mouse buttons, so i create a new custom set using Inkscape. It is now more like an real and modern hardware i think. If you want to use this graphics, please fell free to download it directly here an put it into the png-folder:
.
This is a screenshot with custom buttons on my machine (yes, i like this darklooks theme
):

The only problem is the german keyboard layout. Tobias Jakobs (from the GIMPforum.de) and i try to solve this but with some changes in the key-status file, but we cant get a good solution cause we are not programmers.
He added commandline option for delays.
My silly solution is, to rename some keys or save other png-graphics into the folder but it don`t work fully.

And we have the letters: Ö / Ü / Ä (the png`s are ready for it now)
This software is written in Phyton.
If someone (programmer) can help us, please contact me ! Thanks.
