I'm on Linux with KDE, which effects some of the options. I was pretty happy with the way KeyMon works, and it was available in the repos; but then I noticed that although it has dedicated display positions for the CTRL key, it still registers my Capslock as a capslock stroke although I have it bound as CTRL. This means that it doesn't properly capture any commands normally using L-CTRL for my viewers. I'm sure there are other emacs screen casting folks out there; do you have a suggestion for getting a key monitor program that will properly interpret my Capslock as a CTRL? Or of changing a setting to make that happen in KeyMon? I don't know much about key-capturing on a system level, but apparently KeyMon is grabbing things at a lower level than KDE.
