Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/50

When the 'Display only commands keys' it's checked the TAB, Arrow Keys doesn't display.

Let's say we are making a presentation of how to fill a form with only the keyboard.
There are inputs that we need to write data (text and textareas), or choose some option (dropdown, radio buttons and checkbox) and buttons.

I don't want to display what I'm entering in text fields. But, the TAB and Arrows keys and RETURN are some of the keys it's needed for giving the right feedback.

A different suggestion will be to, only display keys that aren't in a text component. I guess that could be harder to achieve.

I think my original intent with "display only command keys" was to show keyboard shortcuts, but I think you're right that it'd be useful to show other non-textual keys like tab and arrows. Not sure if we can fit it in for 0.9.5 but I'd like to keep it on the radar.

Bump 😸

This is exactly what I'm looking for to use while teaching command line tools: tab, arrows, esc
