I like the idea of tailing a keylogger to display keystrokes. Pretty clever.

And thanks for the references. As I had indicated, Googling an issue
with "display keys as they are pressed" just doesn't have the kind of
keyword discrimination that makes a search worthwhile.

The logkeys project is available at http://code.google.com/p/logkeys and
the docs point to another few possibilities like PyKeyLogger, too.

Thanks!
