Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/264

The Linux tool screenkey https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey supports compressing repeats in following way:

When enabled, contiguous repeated sequences are truncated after the
requested threshold. A counter of total occurrences is shown instead,
which is generally more legible.

It is more clear with this gif from https://superuser.com/a/1537680

The default threshold is 3. The feature has been introduced in version 0.9:

Is it possible to add a similar feature to keycastr?

contributions are welcome, but given how the default visualizer currently works this doesn't really make sense.
