Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/110

Mac's built-in keyboard viewer allows showing modifier keys (Shift, Cmd, Control, Option) alone without any printable key (and any combination thereof, like Double-shift, Cmd+Option+Shift, etc).

Here's an example:

This should be included as it is essential for showing functionality of many applications, as evidenced by linked issues.

Related: #85, #75, #104

I think we can close this:

This is already possible with Svelte.
And there's also a UX design proposal how to integrate this into the Normal Visualizer, see #240

Svelte doesn't show Fn keys and Capslock (physical keydown/up events, although that might be impossible at the level keycastr is tracking key status)
