Emacs keycast minor mode that shows pressed keys in tab bar line.
Emacs Tab Bar Keycast
Emacs global minor mode showing last pressed key with corresponding
function name and repeat counter in tab-bar-mode line. Ignore
typing, mouse drag, none key related minibuffer commands and other
random undefined bindings.
Can be aligned to the right (default) or left side of tab-bar-mode
line free space (after tabs). Tabs may be hidden so you don't have to
use them to have tb-keycast status enabled.
Emacs 29.1 is required.
See examples.el file used in demo.gif to
learn about customizations. Read variables documentation with C-h v
to learn more or use M-x customize-group<RET>tb-keycast<RET> to
customize using GUI interface.

- Tested only on Emacs 29.0.
- Counter does not work for
C-k (kill-line). - Big thanks to thuna` from #emacs@libera for help with
tb-keycast-formattype description.
