Only show keys when pressed
I really like this live keyboard app. I think it will be great once I start
making GIMP tutorials. My only problem with it is that the blank keys/mouse
stay around after I type them. I would really like the keys to go away
altogether after the set period of time.

The feature is already available although hidden.
If you pass the parameter --no-press-fadeout on the command line it'll remove
the window after 1.0 seconds (you can change the value of course to 2.0 for two
seconds, etc.).
key-mon --no-press-fadeout=1.0

It would be nice if the feature was not hidden. I think it would add a lot of
value. Other apps like this one dont have many configurations a valuable in a
GUI. This is why I like and use keymon. The terminal is grate but I think Linux
needs to get away from the terminal only mentality. Users hate the terminal and
that's why I think a lot of people don't use it.

Ok changing this to make the feature available in the settings pages.

So I just tried key-mon --no-press-fadeout=1.0
one other suggestion would be to only show the keys that are typed. for example
right now I am typing this and key mon is running. I really don't need to see
that I am not right clicking on the mouse.
