High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I display live keyboard and mouse input in a floating overlay during a screen demonstration?▼

Capturing system-wide keyboard and mouse events for a live demonstration requires a global input monitor. This Skill implements a Monio-based listener in Rust that emits events to a translucent Tauri overlay window for real-time visualization.

Can I show system-wide keystrokes and mouse clicks across macOS, Windows, and Linux?▼

Yes, capturing system-wide keystrokes and mouse clicks across macOS, Windows, and Linux is supported. The Rust listener and Tauri-managed overlay window operate cross-platform to globally monitor and queue keyboard and mouse events.

What is the best way to build a KeyCastr-like input visualization app using Tauri?▼

Building a KeyCastr-like app using Tauri involves a Rust backend for global event capture and a frontend for rendering. This Skill uses a Monio-based listener in Rust and a SvelteKit frontend to queue and render input events in a vibrancy overlay.

How do I capture global keyboard and mouse events in Rust and send them to a SvelteKit frontend?▼

Capturing global keyboard and mouse events in Rust and sending them to a SvelteKit frontend involves a Monio-based listener in Rust. This listener monitors system-wide input and emits real-time events to the Tauri-managed overlay window for the SvelteKit frontend to render.

Does Tauri support native vibrancy effects for an overlay window that displays live input events?▼

Yes, Tauri supports native vibrancy effects for an overlay window displaying live input events. This Skill implements a Tauri-managed overlay window with vibrancy to queue and render system-wide keyboard and mouse events in real time.
