A simple keyboard overlay to show keypresses, specifically made for JP speedrunning.

- Handles normal keys, NUMPAD and mouse keys.
⚠️ shifted keys are not handled (though shift can be added as a seperate key)⚠️ - Add and place keys where you want!
- Your layout is saved and loaded on launch
- Toggle-able transparency (opacity is set to 80% by default)
- Pick your favorite color to display when keys are highlighted
- Set your keys to different sizes
- Disable key highlighting while typing in chat
Download & install Nexus and run Guild Wars 2 once to set up Nexus.
Download the addon from the Releases, and put it in the GW2/addons directory.
You should be able to hot-load it (so, no need to restart the game), but if it doesn't work just restart the game.
Configure it by pressing the Nexus icon -> Options -> Addons -> Keyboard Overlay.
I have a list of planned features here.
If you encounter any crashes/issues, join the Nexus discord here and send your Nexus.log (in <GW2>/addons/Nexus) and a quick
explanation of what you did just before the crash in the keyboard_overlay channel.
