About

A screencast tool to display your keys, inspired by Screenflick. This is an almost-complete rewrite of screenkey 0.2, featuring: - Several keyboard translation methods - Key composition/input method support - Configurable font/size/position - Highlighting of recent keystrokes - Improved backspace processing - Normal/Emacs/Mac caps modes - Multi-monitor support - Dynamic recording control - Switch for visible shift and modifier sequences only - Repeats compression - Countless bug fixes

Permissions

2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • wildcard own-name org.kde.*: can impersonate system services
    --own-name=org.kde.*
  • X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
    --socket=x11
  • GPU acceleration
    --device=dri
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • system tray
    --talk-name=org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher

Who publishes this

Nobody has confirmed that the publisher controls this app id. Flatsonar warns before installing.

  • packaged by github.com/filbot3, not by the com.gitlab namespace owner; it does build the owner's code from https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey/-/archive/v1.3/screenkey-v1.3.tar.gz
