In the eventuality that you are trying to make a video tutorial that is slightly more complex then chances are that you may want to record the keyboard shortcuts you are using. ShowUs is a tiny tool designed to help you easily display the keystrokes while recording screencasts. You can get started right away as the app prompts you to press any button that is initially displayed in the lower right corner.

The program comes with several advanced settings that allows you to customize the display of keystrokes to better suit your video. You can configure the keystroke delay, linger time, fade duration, minimum lines, combination characters, alignment and the hotkey to use for toggling the capturing on and off again.

The tool allows you to select a background color and opacity, a nice feature that ensures your text can be visible regardless of what you are recording. As you probably hinted, you can choose a text fond, color and opacity, border size, color and opacity, label spacing and corner size. Depending on the nature of the tutorial, you can also specify if you prefer to display the mouse action, double-click or only show when you are using mouse only with a modifier.
