Key Display — show the shortcut, hide the typing

Version 1.5.7 adds Key Display, a Premium feature for showing shortcut combinations as polished keycaps during presentations and screen recordings.

TL;DR

TuringShot 1.5.7 introduces Premium Key Display, rendering shortcut combinations as polished keycaps during recordings. Normal typing and Shift-only combos are filtered out, the overlay is non-activating so it never steals focus, and Settings-window shortcut beeps are reduced.

Key Display for shortcut-heavy demos

When enabled, TuringShot displays shortcuts that include Cmd, Ctrl, or Option. This makes coding demos, design workflows, and app tutorials easier to follow without exposing normal typing.

Typing filters

Normal typing is not shown. Shift-only combinations are filtered out as well, so Korean input and capital letters do not appear as shortcut overlays.

Cleaner shortcut behavior

The Key Display overlay is non-activating, so it does not steal keyboard focus. TuringShot also reduces unnecessary macOS shortcut beeps while the settings window is open.
