DESCRIPTON

147       Keymon is a program to help in teaching or podcasting  by  showing  the
148       current status of the mouse buttons and keyboard.
149
150       Keymon  creates  a  small, borderless window which always stays topmost
151       and monitors the keystrokes and mouse buttons used at any time  in  any
152       program.
153
154       Configuration files are saved in ~/.config/key-mon/.
