# Keylume - Press Kit

## About

Keylume is an on-screen keyboard for macOS that lights up keys as you press them. Made for app demos, screencasts, and tutorials.

Most keystroke visualizers only show modifier combos or skip function keys. Keylume shows the whole keyboard, matching the look of a real Apple keyboard.

- **Click to type** -- Click keys on the on-screen keyboard to send actual keystrokes. Works for typing shortcuts without reaching for the physical keyboard. Helpful when projecting a screen and only having access to a pointer device.
- **Keyboard layout adaptation** -- Reads your system keyboard layout and updates key labels to match. The keyboard switches automatically when you change languages or layouts like Dvorak.
- **Key layers** -- Hold a modifier and the labels update to show what each key will produce. Hold Shift to see uppercase letters and symbol row characters.
