I program the keys everything is working and ready to play in the game and the program disappears what do I do?

im using arch linux and colemak keyboard layout, there r some small bugs when adding keys, maybe this is java's problem?

when using obs to record the software there are some black space around it and when your mouse attached to these zones the obs catches the image that your mouse starts strobing

I guess maybe because the java version?
My java version is jdk1.8.0_291

when at a semi high update rate (250 ms or higher) it starts flashing, or dissapearing and reapearing rapidly. Really annoying and might make my planned ADOFAI streams ubearable (scince ADOFAI tweaks uses a windows only program to mod unity). I have included my Config file so maybe it has to deal with it being transparent {See note in my new comment} or i did something wrong. Also gonna include my Neofetch.

i'd think it would be really cool to have the kps graph in the space bar so it would take less space and keep the same information seeing as how space bar is 99% blank

we can still keep the number in (like at the corner or something)

"Failed to save statistics on exit.
Cause: dev.roanh.kps.Key
Attempt to save again?"

"Failed to load statistics on launch.
Cause: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: dev.roanh.kps.Key"

The same error is also thrown when trying to load them manually

Hey there,

I just found this app as a feature while i play StepPrime (kindof stepmania). Well, im using a real pad which is connected via USB but it seems to be incompatibility with IO Boards? Maybe it's only taking keyboard strokes and not for other kind of boards.
Im attaching a picture where you can find they're connected (also by windows search "set up usb game controllers")

Also, another suggestion.. Ctrl+i clear the keyboard statics; how can i use Ctrl+something to clear total strokes?

Thanks !

Just as the title says. The Java I use is OpenJDK 18.

There could be a way to have only the keys show up, like you can transparent the background out but keep the keys filled in?

Sometimes the hotkeys conflict with other hotkeys and I want to remove them because personally they are not commonly used.

(Some sentences were written using a translator)
When I try to "save stats",
it says,

Failed to save the statistics!
Cause: dev.roanh.kps.Key

but total, maximum, average were saved successfully.

and then, if I load that save,
it says,

Failed to load the statistics!
Cause: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: dev.roanh.kes.Key

also total, maximum, average were loaded successfully.

After update to v8.5, when I try to save or load, it always display above contents.

If the config files defines the hotkey of resetting statistics, it is useless. KeysPerSecond always goes into the default hotkey Ctrl + I.

First; amazing program!

Now, loading the config each time i start the program is a bit annoying, i made a script that starts all my streaming tools and what takes the most time is this.

So intead of doing start KeysPerSecond-v8.2.exe, then manually clicking config, looking for the file, etc ...
It could simply be start KeysPerSecond-v8.2.exe C:\pathtofile.cfg 👌

I found a UI bug that messes up when you are configuring stuff. If you use the arrow keys to navigate the UI within Layout, the UI elements move up and down the page. This works for everything in the program and also works in all 4 directions. imgur.com/a/2g8yTN3

Reopening the Layout box resets the position of the elements.

I would like to add a gradient to the background so it can fit inline with my overlay,

If I change the command for Reset totals from Ctrl + I to another shortcut, it works as intended for the current session. However, if the config is saved and loaded again, it defaults back to Ctrl + I in the commands configuration panel, as well as in practice. However, looking at the file in Notepad+ +, I can see that whatever command I set has been saved.

This is on version 8.4. I have not attempted reinstalling because setting it up for each session is less of an issue than reconfiguring settings for me.

When im pressing first key (T) counter is working properly, but when im pressing second key (Y) next counter (Total key presses) is duplicating. Tried it with not only total key presses and every other counter also duplicating itself.
Link to video of issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5HP15p_558

The key [ is shown as ( in the interface.

I have no clue if this is just my pc that is stupid or the program not working. I would love to have the background gone but i can't figure out a good color combination to chroma key it and the opacity just makes anything that captures it bug out

Hey it's me again.

I accidentally closed the terminal running the app at the end of the day. As I wanted to know how many keys I typed, it's kind of a fail.

Would it be possible to auto save results every so often ?

like the title says we should be able to define variables that reset on map restart. i.e. lets say i want my mania keys, average and maximun to restart every time i start a map. i put that in a config file and use it that way. i would like to use this while streaming but im the kind of person to restart them map 10 times during the intro. whcih it would be obnoxious to restart the settings every time.

hello, i'm korean user.
A little talk english sorry.
play the "elswrod" game wtih use keyspersencond. but keyspersecond is not play

I made a Chinese version of this software (just modify the source code), can I publish it? Can I submit my modified source code to this repository for other Chinese players to use?

Just a suggestion. It would be nice to be able to just have numbers in boxes if the layout you choose is intuitive enough. Or, if the number is large, just make the word larger so it doesn't dwarf the size of the abbreviation.

Checked the Overlay mode and when I switch to osu while fullscreen, it doesn't overlap. Is there a way to make it overlap or is does it not work for fullscreen programs?

Hi, This is great work!

I used KeysPerSecond-v8.2.exe in win10.
I found that OSU! sometimes can't read keys when I play OSU!mania and used KeysPerSecond and OBS.
This caused that keys I pressed to be judged as a miss.
This interval will occur once every 5-30 seconds.
But I don't understand why was bug happen, maybe it just a case.

Thank you

I have an issue where I press two different keys on my keyboard, but they get recognized as the same, probably because this program uses the standard qwerty layout.

i don't know if this is the right place for a suggestion but i made a github account just for this.

so anyway i think it would be nice if u can record the key presses and playback it later after playing
and maybe save the replay into a File?
as someone who had a bad pc this would be usefull. i can playback them later and record them using OBS
so i wouldn't have performance drop while playing
currently the savestats is the closest we can get

Hey, i am trying your program, to see how much I play Osu Mania. In general I liked your Setup with the Keyspresses for each Key, and all Keys in total, but I would have liked it, to save the Statistics automatically. Is there any possible way to Save the Keylogs in the Setup-file itself or have an extra file, which the program overwrites automatically when you close it? I just dont like the Stat saving in a certain interval creating a new File each time.

Hey im a 4k OSU!Mania player and i use the keys 1 2 / * to play (/ * on numpad) but it shows up on the app as 1 2 / [print screen] (which is unreadable). i was wondering if you could add in a setting to customize the names for the keys so i could change them to 1234, that would also make it relate to the columns while playing
that is what it looks like for me.

My computer ( Windows 11 Pro ) has a lot of java version:

Openjdk 16.0.2,
IBM Semeru Runtime Open Edition 16.0.2.0 (In PATH, Uses as Default)
IBM Semeru Runtime Open Edition 1.8.0
Openjdk 17.0.1
...

When I directly open the exe file, It shows this window:

Then the application opens the Oracle java download page.

But when I use command prompt:

It can be run normally.

And, Your readme said that this application supports running on Java above 1.8 .

So how about making checking java version more flexable ?

Edit: This problem happens from V8.2 to now.

Edit 2: My computer doesn't have ORACLE Version Java 1.8.

Edit 3: I just checked version 3.0 and version 7.0. They all went into this issue.

When KeysPerSecond is launched, there is a Window for me to configure it and there is no main GUI. However, if at this interface I hit Ctrl + R or Ctrl + Y, I will make the main GUI visible, which is not expected.

Hi, I really like this program and I have used it for a long time, very nice!

Is it possible to auto load configure? This may require storing additional configurations to AppData or somewhere.

If you do not like that, is it possible to attach the configuration file location in the form of command line parameters to boot directly to the main interface?

Thank you.

Hi, awesome work!

I wanted a soft to check how many keys I press during a day as a developer. KPS is exactly what I needed ;)

When tracking all keys, it seems to also track clicks, would it be possible to exclude mouse events from counters? or maybe add a specific counter for that with number of click, distance scrolled, distance moved, etc...

I recently updated to Java 16 and noticed that there appears to be some breaking changes that prevent the right-click menu on the overlay from appearing. Full error logs are attached, but I think it's just some packages moved around.

hi, when I try to start the .jar application from command line using java -jar KeysPerSecond-v8.4.jar, it opens without any gui and outputs this in the cmd and crashes:

Ctrl + U: Terminates the program
Ctrl + I: Causes the program to reset and print the key press statistics

I'm not at all familiar with java so I would appreciate help

if mousebuttons are included the program doesn't load the stats.
It says:

Failed to load the statistics!
Cause: Cannot parse line: - [keycode=-1,count=325,alt=false,ctrl=false,shift=false,name="M1"]

Hello when i save my kps my keybinds are zxc space ,./ but when i save it it goes zxc space ./ the comma wont save please fix this ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling kps and it wont work

I'm on mac but when I press a key and click save I get a popup that says "No Key's Pressed"

I've had this problem for a little bit and I need some support on how to fix this issue, please and thank you!

how do i get it to work/ show it on my own thing when doing a game?

Is there some feature so that the program is in a specific game and not 2 seperate applications if you know what i mean.

It feels like the update cycle of "Total" is 1 second.
It would be nice if you could update "Total" immediately or set the frequency.

There could be an option for thickening the lines that divide the key visualisers, and/or a way to add ambient occlusion or a drop shadow to the visualisers.

An edge blur effect could also be an amazing enhancement to the visualiser. Just from a visual standpoint, I'm only looking for an aesthetic.

P.S. Does anyone know how to add a flair like "enhancement", "bug", etc.?

Just as the title says. Other windows (configure keys, about, etc.) work just fine so far.

Hi!

Great work with this! It seems that when I try to save the config to a local find, it only opens the "Open File" window. It may be that I do something wrong, but both the Load config and Save config opens up the same window. I'm on a MacBook Pro M1.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I already read your instructions to skip configuration steps but I couldn't understand it.
Can you explain me more specifically?
