key-mon on lubuntu 20.04

I could find two alternatives to keymon:

  • screenkey is packaged, maintained, but is not really useful for most screencast tasks.

  • kmcaster is not packaged, but the .jar file provided by the project should run on Ubuntu. A video compares it to key-mon:

You still can install it using packages from 18.04 LTS:

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/key-mon/key-mon_1.17-1ubuntu1_all.deb

sudo apt-get install ./python-gtk2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb ./key-mon_1.17-1ubuntu1_all.deb
