Hello, would there be any solution for password display in the case of the root password entry after the use of the sudo comand please?

Thanks a lot for this project, it is for sure the cleanest of all the keystrokes overlays out there.

No, I don't think that is possible. If you're doing something with secure key entry, the key events are not sent to KeyCastr by the OS.
