Visualize pressed keys onscreen

Question

I want to show others what keys I currently press onscreen. Unfortunately, neither xvkbd nor florence nor onboard visualize the keys I press. What else can I use?

Screenkey works well, although it shows a banner instead of a full virtual keyboard (and sometimes misses keys, but that may just be a bug):

According to alternativeto.net screenkey is a no longer maintained dead project.

For my screencasts I use key-mon and works pretty nice. It shows only pressed letter and special buttons and mouse. Here's a photo:
