Thanks, Ryo. Xev does not fit what I need. I find that when using my
laptop's built in keyboard I am activating shortcuts that I did not
mean to activate and I do not know what keyboard combination did it
(as it was not intentional). Therefore I need something running in the
background that say "you hit this: XXX". This sounds like a job for a
hardware keylogger, alas, they don't work on the builtin laptop
keyboard!
