Sometimes, when recording your screen or giving a presentation, it’s helpful to show which keys you're pressing on the keyboard. Some applications have this feature built-in, but if not, you can enable it yourself.

To do this, you'll need the [**Key Press Viewer**](https://apps.apple.com/app/key-press-viewer-keystrokes/id6746492657) utility. After launching it, you can configure how the key presses are visualized — and that’s it.

From then on, whenever you press any keys, the last three key presses will be prominently displayed at the bottom of the screen.
