Display Keystrokes and Mouse Clicks on Screen
When you makes demonstrations or video demos, your clients or audiences can't see your keyboard or mouse. So they can't tell what you have pressed on the keyboard especially the shortcut key presses. And for the mouse actions, it's hard to tell between click , double click and mouse down, or left and right mouse button.
If we can display keystrokes and mouse clicks on the screen, it's much easier for our audience to see how the magic happens.
PointerFocus can help us with this.
PointerFocus is a handy Windows application which can make key presses and mouse clicks visible. And it also offers other functions which are very useful for presenters.
