Here is a link which lists some reasons why the tool has been removed: http://www.blendernation.com/2014/07/02/screencast-keys-addon-is-removed-b3d/
You still can find the "original" tool here: https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/trunk/py/scripts/addons/space_view3d_screencast_keys.py And here is an alternative development: https://github.com/jedihe/b3d_screencast_keys/blob/master/space_view3d_screencast_keys.py I am not sure if the alternative works better or not. Both scripts seem to work on current Blender versions with the known limitations. But i can neither tell if it is a good idea to use them or not, nor did i do any in depth tests. -gaia- On 31.05.2015 21:51, TARDIS Maker wrote: > I guess the devs where getting a bunch of bug reports for it and stuff, and > they weren't able to take care of them.
