Echo elisp commands in a buffer

Echo elisp commands in a buffer

[J191]

Is there a facility, setting or plugin in emacs to list the sequence of elisp commands when using emacs, except perhaps listing the actual text a user enters ?

example

next-line
[some edits]
to-beginning-of-line
[some edit]

In Emacs 26, typing `C-h l` basically gives you that, although it 
does list the actual text the user entered.

I looked a bit at the project's parent (I dislike Github, sorry), and
there are a couple of differences:

  - command-log-mode and mwe-log-commands do filter certain
    commands (self-insert-command, among other things)
  - it happens "real time", what actually gave me the idea
    of munging it for one use case I have: while showing
    how to do things in Emacs before an audience, people
    don't see what I type. It would be nice if... (you get
    the idea).

Cheers

I guess I could change interaction-log.el to do that if the package
otherwise seems ok for you.  Unfortunately it's not (yet) in Gnu Elpa.

Library showkey.el can help with this. See `showkey-log-mode'.
