Hi,

thanks for this software, very useful for coding presentations.

I'm not familiar with english terms about Command keys/Modifier keys/Apply modifiers in the settings.

Could you add some exemples in the readme to better understand what those options mean please ?

Hi I just found this this app and its seems amazing!

Here's from what I understand so far.

  1. Command Keys Only will only display keys involving the command key ⌘ (e.g. ⌘+Tab is displayed, but Shift+Tab will not be displayed)
  2. All Modifier Keys is like Command Keys Only, but also includes Alt (⌥), Shift (⇧), Ctrl (⌃)
  3. All Keys is like All Modifier Keys, but it captures everything, including letters (a, b, c, etc)

I haven't figured out what Apply Modifiers does yet.

Apply Modifiers means to display the keys after applying the modifiers (eg. ⌥+Z is displayed as Ω)
