  • WS Demo is a lightweight utility designed for software demonstrations, training sessions, and screen recordings. It makes presentations clearer by:

    • Pointer Highlighting

      A spotlight effect follows the mouse pointer.

      • Default color: transparent yellow

      • Left-click: green highlight

      • Right-click: red highlight

    • Keyboard Shortcut Overlay

      Pressed keys (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+A) are displayed in real time on a transparent overlay. This ensures the audience can easily follow both mouse and keyboard actions.

    • Quick Controls (Triple-Key Shortcuts)

      • Esc ×3 → Quit

      • S ×3 → Toggle shortcut display

      • M ×3 → Toggle mouse highlighter

      • K ×3 → Toggle keystroke display (optionally show all pressed keys, with or without modifiers)

    • Overlay Positioning

      By default, the keystroke overlay appears in the top-left corner of the screen. Hold the left mouse button to drag it anywhere.

    WS Demo: a straightforward tool to visualize mouse and keyboard input during Windows presentations.

    [READ ME] WS Demo is a compact utility that is useful when presenting or screen-recording Windows applications. It highlights the mouse pointer (spotlight) and displays pressed keyboard shortcuts on a transparent desktop overlay (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+A). As a result, your audience can easily follow what’s happening on the screen. The standard mouse hilite-color is transparent yellow, a left-click turns it green and a right-click red. WS Demo shows keystrokes and mouse actions realtime on your screen.

    Tripple-key Shortcuts:
    3 x Esc: Quit
    3 x S: Disable/Enable Shortcut display
    3 x M: Disable/Enable Mouse hiliter
    3 x K: Disable/Enable Keystroke display. If enabled, show ALL pressed keys with or without modifiers.

    By default, the shortcut-overlay is positioned at the top-left corner of the screen. It can be mouse-dragged to any other location while holding down the left-mouse button.
