Input_Catcher_3000

A simple program to solve a simple problem in the way I wanted it solved. I couldn't find a good overlay program I liked so I worked with claude to build me one so it could see my key strokes in whatever program I was in. I am trying to get better at blender low poly modeling for game dev. So i needed a way to record every key press while in blender to feed it back to claude through obs. This way its like i have a teacher over my shoulder watching every move. This is just the input capture overlay I figured it might help people with similar problems.

Research mode (new in v1.1)

Optional mode for people who record gameplay and want a precise record of what they pressed and when. I built it so I could reverse-engineer game mechanics from my own OBS recordings; a video alone doesn't tell you the timing.

Turn it on in the settings window and you get: a session clock (mm:ss.mmm) at the top of the overlay; a log file with a millisecond timestamp on every key and mouse press and release (plus hold time, wheel, and raw mouse movement); and a marker key (F8) that stamps "MARK 1, 2, 3..." into both the overlay and the log.

Hook it up to OBS and every marker also records OBS's own recording time, so the log lines up with your video exactly. F9 starts and stops OBS recording. It's off by default, so if you just want the overlay nothing changes.

Setup steps are in README_OBS_SETUP.md and the log format is in RESEARCH_MODE.md, both in the downloads.
