Visual feedback when using Type outside of "inserts" and Keys

[nocksock]

When creating tapes for eg. nvim plugins, cli applications with a tui etc, it would be neat to have som way to show the keys being pressed.

Something along those lines:

Set ShowKeys 0
Type "nvim README.md"
Set ShowKeys 1
Enter
Type "/something"
Enter
Type "nn"
Type "ciw"
Set ShowKeys 0
Type "foobar"
Set ShowKeys 1
Escape

Maybe some kind of Overlay that can be placed freely that also groups keys by lines: eg nn would be shown, and then replaced by ciw - instead of showing nnciw - then vanish until Escape, which is shown too. Or when navigating inside glow, or btop etc.

Theres probably a much more elegant way to write this syntax-wise. :D

This is a really great idea! It would be quite useful for tutorials and other types of demos! Thank you for suggesting it!

This would be very useful, has it ever been added?
