Is there anything like this for Linux?

This is super great for pair programming especially when one of the pairs is trying to ramp up. Hat tip to all the Pivotal Labs folks who worked on this.

This is awesome! It works on more than just the latest macOS, is free and open source, and is only 6 MB.

A commercial alternative for $14 https://ixeau.com/keystroke-pro/

Nowhere in the readme does it explain what a keystroke visualizer actually is.

It shows what you type on screen. For example, if you press Ctrl-C, it shows that on the screen. It’s useful for screencasts.

Any recommendations for alternatives for Windows?

Some alternatives I’ve found:

Meh, only for Mac.
