Hi all,
thanks for this nice program! I have a feature request. :-)
I was thinking of creating some spoken tutorials with OBS studio together with "Input history" for my favorite Software Blender, currently in a beta version 2.8.
Blender offers until version 2.79 a "screencast mode" for users be able to follow tutorials.
In version 2.8, they have not implemented Screencast keys - additionally, the problem Blender has is that sometimes keys are not displayed in certain modes. Therefore, OBS studio and the Input Overlay make sense as I have tested this now.
There are some features from Blender Screencast function that I think might be a good feature for the OBS Input Overlay:
This might even make sense for tutorial videos for other software as well.
Dan
P.S.: this is how it looks like in Blender 2.79

- Fade-out for the auto clear (nice to have), the disappearing is very harsh
- The enable of repeated keys could be shown as a multiplication factor. If I press B five times in Blender and screencast mode, then I will see, B, then Bx2, Bx3, etc.. As soon as the auto clear has removed the last view of a depressed key, then it starts to count from 1 again
- Enable the possibility of ignoring Left and Right key infos for SHIFT and CTRL, i.e. only show SHIFT or CTRL, regardless if L-SHIFT or R-SHIFT
- Enable the possibility of not showing if only SHIFT, CTRL or ALT have been pressed, since they have no function for themselves in many programs.
- Enable the six keys above the four arrow keys (Delete, Home, End, Page Up/Down, etc..)

- Start/Stop Display is used for the Screencast key display
- Size of text and mouse icon is self-explanatory
- Position of the display are is also self-explanatory
- Text/Icon color is also clear
- Fade Out Time is what I explained above
- Mouse can be shown as text, icon or not at all
- Display: Box is basically a background box with color and alpha
