Is it possible to use KeyPress-OSD with OBS Studio when using Window Capture mode (i.e., not Display Capture)? With the default configuration OSD is not seem to be recorded with Window Capture.

Whenever I try to open it, it shows like this:

I am using AutoHotkey version 1.1.33.11.

Since upgrading to OSD keypress v4.66.1 it is longer possible to enable the dragging of the OSD window, this setting is not retained after selecting apply.

My Windows 10 antivirus found Trojan:Win32/Zpevdo.A inside your exe file.
Can you explain this?

Hello,

How can i restrict the Keypress OSD to only works when a specific application is focused ?

in the Window "Rename keys:..."
"custo_m_ names" in the tab
;-)

Environment: Windows 8.1, Keypress OSD v4.28.6

I'm trying to use KeyPress OSD along with OBS Studio so that I can show typed keys and mouse clicks when recording my screen.

In both KeyPress OSD and OBS Studio, I have set Ctrl + F12 as the key to toggle activate/deactivate.

The issue is that when I press Ctrl + F12 to deactivate both KeyPress OSD and OBS Studio, KeyPress OSD deactivates just fine but OBS Studio doesn't (i.e. it continues to record). What I'm guessing is that KeyPress OSD intercepts the keys but doesn't pass it through so OBS Studio never receives/detects the keys.

As a sidenote, I've used OBS Studio together with a modified version of ripple AHK script before with a shared hotkey Ctrl + F12 so I know it's possible to toggle both at the same time. The modification involves setting Ctrl + F12 as the hotkey to activate/deactivate the ripple AHK script.

Enabling the setting "Shrink text to Fit" (Preferences > OSD appearance) causes KeyPress OSD to ignore the font family settings. The font weight is also being increased no matter the shrink setting, one weight if disabled or full-on to bold if enabled.

I located the lines responsible and while I'm not sure if my quick fix breaks something else it's a starting point, I guess.

In the CreateOSDGUI() function:

(...)
    If (ShowPreview=0 || PrefOpen=0)
       ; Gui, OSD: Font, c%OSDtextColor% Bold, %FontName%, -wrap  ; FIX: Remove "Bold"
       Gui, OSD: Font, c%OSDtextColor%, %FontName%, -wrap
    Else
       Gui, OSD: Font, c%OSDtextColor%, -wrap
(...)
If (PrefOpen!=1)
    {
       FontSizeHorizProgress := (FontSize<60) ? Round(FontSize/5.5) : Round(FontSize/10)
       If (FontSize<20)
          FontSizeHorizProgress := Round(FontSize/2.9)
       If (FontSize>130)
          FontSizeHorizProgress := Round(FontSize/15)
       If (FontSizeHorizProgress<9)
          FontSizeHorizProgress := 8
       ; Gui, OSD: Font, s%FontSizeHorizProgress%, Arial  ; FIX: Switch "Arial" to user-set FontName
       Gui, OSD: Font, s%FontSizeHorizProgress%, %FontName%
       Gui, OSD: Add, Text, x+0 -wrap vTextNavPrev, ----------------------
       GuiControl, OSD: Move, TextNavPrev, h%smallLEDheight%
       GuiControl, OSD:, TextNavPrev, 
    }

There's a third Font definition using Arial in this function, but I didn't touch it since changing these lines already solved the issue.

I hope this helps, and thanks for the fantastic app!

Hello
is it possible to hide keystrokes when using toolbar ?

1. Request

It would be nice, if you add an option — relative OSD position.

For example, it would be nice, if would be possible position OSD in center and bottom of current window.

This was implemented in @tmplinshi KeyPress OSD version.

2. Expected behavior

Demonstration of tmplinshi version:

3. Argumentation

I record screencasts with OSD.

3.1. Center position

It would be nice, if OSD would be located in the center. Screencasts of the screen will be more beautiful.

In your KeyPress OSD version I don't know, how I can place OSD in the center.

3.2. Different programs

Different programs have different GUI size and different GUI position on the screen.

If I use your KeyPress OSD version:

    I need to change OSD position each time.

Elif I use tmplinshi version:

    I don't need manually set OSD position.

4. Not helped

Preferences → OSD appearences → I don't find, how I can get expected behavior.

Thanks.

Just as a heads-up, the following is being detected by multiple virus checkers as a potential Trojan in your .zip archive: Generik.NESNPKT You may want to doublecheck your system for potential issues and verify that your commercially available build does not have this same issue.

The warning logged by one checker was as follows:

HTTP filter;file;https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marius-sucan/KeyPress- OSD/master/keypress-osd-compiled.zip;a variant of Generik.NESNPKT trojan;connection terminated;{removed)(removed);Event occurred during an attempt to access the web by the application: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

This particular issue set off both ESET NOD32 and Sophos checkers so it may not be entirely a false alert.

Is there support to display the pressed keys in a different language (german)?
If not, where would I need to change the display text without breaking the script? (no ahk experience)

Hi,

I'm getting below error.

Hi there!
I've got no idea if this is the right place to ask this. But I'm having trouble finding a way for the onscreen display to never disappear, even after several seconds from the last key pressed. Is there a way for doing this?

Thank you very much!

For instance, if I only want Ctrl + Enter to be displayed (and nothing else). I unfortunately couldn't find such option.

it would be great if i could
i'm using free version

Here's a strange issue/use case.

The KeyPress OSD is by default displayed on the primary screen (which is cool) and I'd want to be able to switch it to a secondary screen using the A/B positions. The problem is I can't set a negative value for the positions (secondary monitor is to the left and set as extended display if that's important).

This issue can be bypassed if I use the Drag OSD option, but it only lasts until I close the script - the Drag OSD option does set a negative value for the A/B position as it works as I would expect it to and it is also reflected in the OSD appearance. However, the values aren't saved.

1. Request

If Show single keys disabled in settings:

    It would be nice, if Shift+key will disable.

key — any key in keyboard.

2. Justification

Shift+key function:

1. Input capital letter,
2. Input another symbol.

If I disable Show single keys, I want, that displayed only hotkeys, but not text, that I input.

3. Actual behavior

4. Expected behavior

No OSD in example above.

Thanks.

How to make the shading only be behind the text? or at least make the shading MUCH less obvious?

Also how to make the keypress text be in a static position?

Environment: Windows 8.1, Keypress OSD v4.30.0

I checked "Ripples" under "Preferences > Mouse". Issue happens even with default Size/Thickness/Speed.

Whenever I click, the ripples seem to be cropped at the right edge and bottom edge. Below is a series of screenshots I've taken from a screen recording. Each click is a bit different but the cropping is visible.

Alternatively, here's a link to the screen recording.

It's fairly noticeable for Speed values up to 15. At Speed = 16, it's slightly noticeable. At Speed = 17, you can't really see it.

Another thing that would work is to lower Thickness to say 3 or 4, but the preferences doesn't allow you to go below 5 for that.

that value is always set to 1 when I set it to 0

Disclaimer: I'm still a beginner in Git/GitHub so what I say below may have inaccuracies. Please take backups and/or test with test repositories in case something goes wrong.

I cloned this repository using git clone https://github.com/marius-sucan/KeyPress-OSD.git and found the folder size to be about 110MB. This is surprising because the files themselves (including the zip) is just about 10MB.

It seems that the .git folder is 100MB. After some digging around, this seems to be due to zip/exe files being committed to the repository which caused the repository's size to balloon. If I'm understanding correctly, for text files e.g. scripts and source code, Git can just store the difference in text whereas for binary files (zip/exe) Git may have to store the entire file every time a new version is committed.

Using the steps in this blogpost, I managed to shrink the repository size to around 3MB. It removed the "keypress-osd-compiled.zip" though. The steps I used to do this

1. In the command line, cd to the project directory
2. git filter-branch --tag-name-filter cat --index-filter 'git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch *.exe *.zip' --prune-empty -f -- --all
3. Delete the directory ".git/refs/original"
4. git reflog expire --expire=now --all
5. git gc --aggressive --prune=now

These steps I haven't done yet due to me not having a repository. I'm planning to test them later on a fork though.

1. git push origin --force --all
2. git push origin --force --tags

For compiled files or zips containing compiled files, the standard practice seems to be adding them to Releases instead of committing them to the repository. For example, AutoHotkey_L's Release page has the AutoHotkey_<version>_setup.exe files but those setup.exe's are not in the repository itself. Other examples: wincompose, greenshot, pandoc.

One thing that may be affected is the Check Update feature within the script but I'm not sure how it is implemented.

Hey, I'm in the trial, and I'd love to be able to fully test this app and then buy it, however I keep getting this message, whenever I try to use the app.

The LineFile is in an asian language, so I can't even understand what's going on

If I click on Yes, the app doesn't fully work, and of course if I press No or Cancel the app shuts down.

would appreciate any help with this thanks!

I think it would look better...

I fell like you can't do that with ahk using "Gui, font"... Underlining part of the text inside a control.

But, I was thinking that a converter like this: https://yaytext.com/underline/ could do the work, though...

Just a thought.

Hello
i would like to use numpad keys to control others applications
for example using the 7 keystroke to launch the application A
i manage to hide numpad keystrokes in Osd
But when i use the mixte mode typing
so i use numpadkeys to display numbers for example 12378
7 launch the application A, i would like to launch the application A only in keystroke mode and not in typing mode
i hope to be clear !!!
is it possible to solve that ?
thanks for reply

When I use ctrl + v, the clipboard is shown on the screen, and I don't want that to happen, I want that show ctrl + v in the screen not the clipboard

Hello,
i'm just trying the trial pro version
i can't manage to display the "S" of "Shift+Winkey+S" (Windows capture)
i could do that with the free version
is there something to do ?
thanks for reply

As title. Right Alt is displayed as AltGr. Right Control is alright though.

Thank you for a great app :)

However, I can't find any setting that lets me restart (refresh) text entry after a predetermined delay (without using a shortcut), it continually appends to the previous displayed entry. Did I miss something? Can this be done?

I downloaded and installed. Now it is running. But I can't turn it off or customize the options. Is there a user guide? Or a tutorial?

For me, the size is too large. It says in the features list Automatic resizing of OSD/HUD or fixed size but I couldn't find out where this is adjusted.

Please support Korean language.

This frustrates the creation of software walk-through guides which rely on the visual capture of different types of click event.

To recreate disable the following preference:

Preferences > Keyboard > Behavior > Do not show Left Click, PrintScreen and other potentially "annoying" keys

I am running v4.66.0 (registered)

Hello
perhaps it's a normal thing but
when i try to disable AltGr it always display Ctrl ?
Thanks for reply
