Screencast
Screencast is a handy tool that helps you keep an eye on your hardware. After using your devices for a while, they can wear out, and sometimes you might not even notice it. That's where Screencast comes in! It shows you what buttons you're pressing in real-time with a cool customizable overlay.
Why Use Screencast?
When you install and open the program, you're greeted by a sleek start-up window that's easy on the eyes with its dark theme. This is perfect for those late-night coding sessions when bright screens can be blinding. Plus, there's a convenient link at the top right that takes you to its GitHub page. You can check out the source code, suggest improvements, or report any issues you run into while using all of its features.
Getting Started
Once you hit the start button, Screencast kicks off in the background and adds an icon to your system tray. This little icon lets you adjust settings or close the app whenever you want. After that, you'll see a semi-transparent overlay pop up on your screen showing all the buttons pressed on your peripherals. It's really easy to read thanks to its big font, and guess what? You can move it around until it fits just right in your workspace!
Create Awesome Tutorials
This feature is super useful if you're making video tutorials about those tricky hotkey combos. You won't need to do any voice-overs since everyone can see exactly what you're pressing! The right-click menu on the system tray icon lets you tweak things too; like changing how transparent the overlay is or adjusting its color and size so it doesn't block anything important on your screen.
Perfect for Testing Your Peripherals
If you're curious about whether your current hardware is acting weird when you're pressing buttons or if you want to find out more about an extra function key for some custom AutoHotKey scripts, Screencast could be just what you need! Its lightweight design makes it easy to visualize key presses as they happen without slowing down your computer.
