That’s really great! Thank you very very much for the contribution Nutti!

Great tool, but I don’t see it into Blender version 2.78 RC2. Why?

Hey, Nutti, I just wanted to say I really like your contributions to this add-on! I especially like how you can select “Current Space” as the display space. Thanks for your excellent work!

Good job. Thanks

ooh nice, I thought that the addon couldn’t do text over the VSE. This is great. I wish though that I could make it ignore typing in the text editor window. Its annoying to see everything I type repeated in 3D view, but its a pain to go and turn it off while recording a tutorial.

it’s in there, however i’m tiring of people still looking for this addon so may very well put it into 2.79 release.

3pointEdit · May 4, 2017, 11:25pm

Hooray!!!

It really is helpful when making those tutorials

I got this error when I tried to enable it, after placing the files in the AppData directory.

JWise · March 21, 2018, 10:08am

Should this addon be assumed dead?

Nutti · October 7, 2018, 12:41am

Hi, there.

CTools has the newest and most powerful modification to Screencast Keys.
However CTools has already stopped the development recently.

Screencast Keys add-on is useful for making tutorial, so I ported Screencast Keys add-on from CTools.

Screencast Keys use deprecated “bgl” module, so we can not use it no longer after Blender 2.8 will be released. So, I will also tackle to support Blender 2.8 as well.

Currently, Blender 2.8 does not show final Python API specification. I will tackle to this project when Python API sepecification is released.

Thanks.

Hi,

Screencast Keys now supports Blender 2.8.

Tutorial Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWkkPCp7RSI

You can also use this add-on in Blender 2.7x.
And comments and requests are welcomed.
Hope you like it.

Gurlal_deep_Singh · September 4, 2020, 4:05pm

Great works like charm thanks
love it.
btw i did not understand what is (get event aggressively)

Nutti · September 5, 2020, 12:41am

@Gurlal_deep_Singh

Most of other forked Screencast Keys could not query event in model operation.
“Get event aggressively” option enables us to get events in model operation such as G(Translation) + X, S(Scaling) + Y.

This option hacks the internal structure of Blender, so it is now experimental.
If you want to use this add-on safely, you should not check on this option.
But the bug reports are welcomed to fix potential issues.

Nutti · September 6, 2020, 9:05am

If I press a key or mouse button fast, two times. I get something like this:

Double fast press key ‘A’:
A x3
Why three? I only pressed it fast two times.

Double fast press mouse left button:
Left Mouse x3
Why three? I only pressed it fast two times.

I also get three times with other keys and mouse presses.

I’m using Blender 2.90 and Screencast-Keys v3.3.
