screenkey VS vim-sandwich

Screenkey

That's screen key

Would http://carnackeys.com/ do for you? If you prefer a commercial solution https://www.recmaster.net/how-to/show-keystrokes-while-screen-recording-2 might be of interest, unless you want to switch to Linux and use https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey

Not the exact solution but you can try screenkey

the app I'm making is basically a screenkey clone ( but would ideally be cross-platform ) and to get the app to show the keys the user is pressing I need global keyboard events so the user doesn't have to focus the window to get it to work ( like what winit does ),

You mean an on-screen display for keyboard input? screenkey, no idea about using it with OBS though.

There are tools like Screenkey1 that show every key you press. I'm however not aware of a tool that specifically only shows pressed keys that are bound in sxhkd.

Thanks for the kind words! The app I'm using here is called screenkey

Screenkey (https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey) is a few thousand lines of python for a simple overlay showing the keys you just pressed, are there any less sucky alternatives?

vim-sandwich has this too (although syntax by default is sdf).

For example with vim-sandwich you can literally type: siw"sa"ffunctionCall

can't live without my prefered surround plugin

vim-sandwich

This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but vim-sandwich provides the as text object, that goes to whatever surrounding you're in, whether it's quotes, parens, \begin{environment}...\end{environment} in TeX files, or whatever other sandwich recipes you have set up.

vim-sandwich - nvim-surround looks good but is still relatively new and has some missing features compared to alternatives.
