I don't know what system you're using, but this link: http://screencasters.heathenx.org/blog/2009/04/06/smaller-key-status-monitor/ Sounds like it might be okay for Linux, and this one has some (seriously ugly) options for Windows: http://dan.hersam.com/2009/05/01/how-to-display-keystrokes-for-screencasts-on-windows/ Macs have KeyCastr or something like that… Just a thought!
