DESCRIPTON

       Keymon is a program to help in teaching or podcasting by showing the current status of the
       mouse buttons and keyboard.

       Keymon  creates  a  small,  borderless  window which always stays topmost and monitors the
       keystrokes and mouse buttons used at any time in any program.

       Configuration files are saved in ~/.config/key-mon/.
