📄 Description

I guess this is similar to the Mod Keys pull request (which I only discovered after doing this work ahahah 😅)

This PR adds an option for KCDefaultVisualiser to show held-down modifier keys - well, actually, I wasn't entirely sure how to make the binding between the storyboard checkbox and NSUserDefaults so I was hoping someone else could help with that.. But at any rate, putting the following into the command line will set the user defaults flag to true and enable the feature:

defaults write io.github.keycastr default.enableShowModifierPresses -bool true

This is really useful for when screencasting Xcode (of all things) due to there being so many times I need to show that I'm holding down keys whilst pressing a mouse button.

I hope this helps someone in the future, and apologies in advance as it's been.. 5 or so years since I had to write any Objective-C 🙃
