Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/247

I'd ideally love to show command keys, tab, and option + arrow keys (which doesn't show up currently with command keys only). Would it be possible to just make an advanced option to select specific keys to be shown?

Yes, this would be very useful. I think this is a theme across some other issues but thanks for opening an issue focused on it.

this is going to be a fantastic addition, as this will enable my students to see the key combo's in realtime while I'm demoing something in an IDE..

Especially TAB is important to show code completion or command completion with bash or any copilot.

Would an option to add navigation keys to the current selected display option cover this need? An open-ended allow/deny list would be quite a bit more complicated though certainly not impossible. See #296 for current thoughts on this.

I'm very pleased with the latest release that allows option + arrows to be displayed, however I wish I didn't also have to display every time I type a capital letter (shift + anything). So now the problem is more that I want to turn off certain modifier keys (i.e. shift on its own). And I guess this also doesn't cover TAB, mentioned above.

So now the problem is more that I want to turn _off_ certain modifier keys (i.e. shift on its own). And I guess this also doesn't cover TAB, mentioned above.

I very much agree with this. I love everything about the current Keycastr except that I can't find a way to turn off e.g. Shift+Letter every time I type a capital letter, or Shift+Number when trying to type standard punctuation, etc. An "exclude" list was a key feature of the old BetterTouchTool for me.

Can anyone advise if I'm overlooking a solution to this? Thanks very much!

@akitchen commented on GitHub (Jan 23, 2025):

it sounds like what people are looking for would be covered by the current "Command Keys Only" option plus a new option to display navigation keys. This is probably simpler to add vs. an open-ended system for filtering which keys to display.
