## Motivation

The motivation behind this project was that I couldn't hear my keybaord presses
in screen-recordings or when I had headphones on. I tried other programs such
as [MechVibes](https://github.com/hainguyents13/mechvibes) (which I took the
sound files and configs from) -- but none were Wayland compatible.

I decided to take some backend code from [Show Me The
Key](https://github.com/AlynxZhou/showmethekey) which could detect global key
presses -- even on Wayland -- and fit it to my use case.

Admittedly, I used a lot of AI to help me complete this, since I was more
interested in just getting it to work to enjoy the sweet sweet keypresses. But
I have since decided to share the code if others found themselves in a similar
position.
