Keyboard Manager - Show pressed key combination

[rkeet]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Show a pressed key combination in a toast on-screen.

Configurable options:

• Display pressed combination: off (default: off)
• Display time (default: 1 second)
• Display location (top/bottom/middle left/right/middle, center screen, etc.)
• Dark/Light/OS themes and/or configurable colors.

(I did not find an existing request for this in open issues)

Scenario when this would be used?

Would be fantastic for screen recordings, screen shares and presentations. It would also be complimentary to PowerToys "Mouse Utilities" which offers the "Find My Mouse" and "Mouse Highlighter" options.

Supporting information

Here a few of them are discussed throughout the years: https://superuser.com/questions/407334/how-can-i-see-a-visual-overlay-of-shortcut-keys-ive-pressed. In that Q&A post, specific ones I like for their visual design (personal preference): https://superuser.com/a/1423695 and https://superuser.com/a/1620324.

Alternatives to a PowerToys version do already exist, however most are focused around MacOS or else are often offered through websites with questionable integrity/validity (intentionally not linked), or else are hard to find.
