How to record your screen, key and mouse pressing

Hello and thanks for taking the time to test Collabora Online!

It’s often very useful to screen record your testing session so, you and the developer can re-visit at will.

Record your screen

Key cast

To know exactly which keys were registered in the computer and perhaps record that there are a few different ways to do it.

Screencast your keys and mouse (useful when reporting bugs or generally testing)

  • Linux: screenkey screenkey / screenkey · GitLab
  • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install screenkey
  • OpenSUSE: sudo zypper in screenkey
  • Fedora: sudo dnf install screenkey
  • there are also others around in flathub or appimage repositories
  • Mac: there are multiple in app store. Just search for “key cast”.
  • Windows: Please feel free add a suggestion here

I have made this post a wiki so, in theory everyone can just edit the post directly with additional suggestion (of course commenting still works)
