Advanced Keystrokes
by InTheDust
Advanced Keystrokes is a Fabric client mod that shows keyboard and mouse input on screen as a heads-up display.
What it does
A configurable overlay tracks movement keys such as WASD, the spacebar, and the left and right mouse buttons, and shows each press in real time. Clicks per second are counted for the mouse buttons. The overlay needs Fabric API, and the mod is published for Fabric alone across 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 with the latest file, 1.0.1, built for 1.21.11. It runs on the client, so only the player's game needs it, and it is not open source, released under All rights reserved.

Clicks per second
