feature request: "streamer mode" to show keystrokes in the interface

[colemickens]

Hi,

I wanted to demo a quick Helix feature to someone and was thinking about how cool it would be to have a "streamer mode" (bad name, sorry) or "asciinema mode" where it is intentionally showing the keys pressed.

I'm not sure if this is feasible, or reasonably in scope, but I thought I'd throw it out.

@colemickens I don't have experience with screen recording softwares so please excuse my ignorance but Isn't this usually a function of those screen recorders? Zellij already captures all keypresses so I don't doubt that it could be done (no idea how hard it might be though) but if Zellij does it then it would have to keep the space for showing those keys present. That could interfere with your demo itself, by cutting out a portion of the window.

Hi, @colemickens!

In my opinion, At least for now, I don't think this feature is a topic for zellij to deal with. As I know there are already great external tools for these requirements. (For example, Keycast)

Nevertheless, if we need this feature, it is desirable to implement it as a plugin.
