Show Keys

Inspiration

Siddharth Ksheterpaul from Codesandbox had a script that you could embed on your site, or paste on your console to visualize key presses on the browser.

Show Keys is a Chrome Extension made on the same principle to visualize the keys.

What it does

It shows you the keys you have pressed on your screen.

How we built it

Challenges we ran into

To sync the content script and the flag to keep the Extension turned on every time a new tab was opened or a tab was reloaded.
