[Bf-committers] Display Keypresses for Tutorials, past, presence and future.

[Carsten Wartmann]

Hi Devs,

as 2.5 is coming so well along I thought that it would be the right time 
to present the idea of showing the actual keypresses while using 
Blender. This will be usefull for presentations and also tutorial 
recording, no matter if it will be possible to replay tutorials inside 
Blender or recording it to disk (or VCR ;-).

For a glance how it could help see:

I used this script 
(http://blenderbuch.de/daten/Dateien.php?dir=Entwicklung/ShowKeypress/) 
for my Tutorial DVD and it helped a lot, you don't have to repeatly tell 
  every keypress but still the watcher gets a reminder what happens here 
or there.

My script has some drawbacks, but I think it will be much easier with 
2.5 to implement such a thing which REALLY shows all keypresses (also in 
EditMode etc).

Oh, and btw. don't forget a possibility to record audio with the 
tutorials ;-)

Best Regards,
Carsten
