Plugin Request: Show Keypress

[bupaje]

I was wondering if it would be possible dynamically update text labels?

I would like to record some simple Jing tutorials as I learn and thought it would be cool to echo the keys being pressed to the screen - rather than talking through every step.

For your purpose you need to find a third party application to do that. SketchUp Ruby can't accomplish what you want.

I downloaded the code and put it in the Plugins directory. Then I saw Key Codes under the tools menu item -so I guess that's it. I opened the Ruby console and if I select Key Codes I see the 'activated' message and if I select any other key I see 'deactivated.' I'm guessing this must be a helper plugin or just some partial code - or I just don't know enough to use it. Thanks.

Ah, thanks. I've been looking but no luck. I was poking at autohotkey but I'm pretty new at that as well. I'll keep looking.
