Limelight

Show the shortcuts behind your live coding

When you code fast, your audience can not keep up — actions happen with no visible cause. Limelight shows the keys you press, spotlights your cursor, and lets you circle the exact line of code.

In a live demo or a dev screencast, half the value is the keyboard workflow. If viewers can not see the shortcut, they can not learn it. Limelight surfaces every shortcut on screen as you press it.

It also spotlights your cursor so people can track you across a dense editor, and lets you draw to circle a function or underline a bug — all live, over your terminal, editor, or browser.

Native, notarized, one-time purchase, free to start.
