great tool! holy crap this thing is awesome.

i recently just recorded something where i had to press enter 6 times and displaying the number was important.

I think it would be a better user experience when the same key is pressed to add a multiplier to it rather than showing it side by side

That's a really cool idea. I haven't seen that in other tools (including commercial ones) like QiPress that show onscreen keyboard indicators. I tried putting something together for that to describe pressing the spacebar 6x and here's what it looks like...

multikey

That said, I'm not sure how the dev would build this functionality. It might be one moments where you have to create a separate explanation box explaining the next few screen actions.
