📄 Description

I made this for my own purposes, but I'll offer it up in the spirit of open source. Based on the Svelte visualizer, this one displays the current modifiers and nothing more.

I use it because I have a custom keyboard that implements sticky keys, and I needed to see them on screen (it's easy to lose track of which keys are pressed).

Not really useful for screencasting, but it does show how to create a new visualizer. 🤷‍♂️

Example of pressing "command+shift" and "command+control+alt+shift".
