I also tried it:

cant hook the keyboard, terminating.

after that some Turkish(?) language...

it's same message, only in Turkish. I will try to figure out the problem.

here is the new version with a little change and a more informative error message:

i tried in 2 win7 and 1 winvista pcs all worked fine, so i dont really know if it's fixed or not. if it's still cant hook please post the error code here.

"can't hook.... error code 1428"

according to this page, i should pass a module as parameter, but i do not use a module so...

i have something in my mind let's see if that works.

Quadraxas, sorry for causing these inconveniences! I really appreciate your efforts.
I wanted to use such tool for video tutorials with different programs, but I am already quite satisfied, if I got such thing working with blender, because there it is most important to know the shortcuts and mouse buttons you use within a tut.

Maybe, in the blender forums there is already such a tool fro blender.

I actually tried some stuff but i could not get it to work on XP, looks like i have to go the external dll way for XP, it will take some time, i will look in to it in a couple of days.(3-5)

I found something, although I still have to investigate a bit how it works and whether it serves its purposes well:

Quadraxas, I just tried your tool on my new Windows7 system.
Wow, great, it works now for me, and it looks way better than that tool that I used before, because it doesn't show the ugly window frame.
You can see here some video tutorials that I made with the osdHotkey:
youtube video tutorials and others of Pappenheimerr

Unfortanately your tool doesn't show the mouse buttons and mouse wheel.
osdHotkey displays: mouse_right, mouse_left, mouse_middle, mouse_wheel_up and mouse_wheel_down.
It is important for tutorials with Blender for instance.

Maybe, the displayed key shouldn't disappear immidiately, better it fades away.

When you add an option to add an own picture with alpha channel, and the option to choose ones own font, it is almost perfect.
Then everyone can create the exact outfit needed for his specific tutorial.

Thank you for your kind contribution.

all should be possible, but i do not quite understand where would you want to put your a picture to?
(a a window frame?)
