I got https://github.com/tarsius/keycast to work in Spacemacs, so now it shows key bindings and commands in the mode-line. This should be great for the videos I'm recording and my live coding broadcasts with Spacemacs. Its a bit of a hack, so have raised an issue to ask how to add keycast properly to Spacemacs. The config I am using is included in syl20bnr/spacemacs#14169 If you have any suggestions on how to improve this or create a layer (still on my todo list), please feel free to comment. Thanks.

I used to use command-log mode, which is already part of Sapcemacs, but it takes up too much space in the frame, especially when creating screencasts or live broadcasts. Tweaking the text and window size doest really help. It's also not set up to change color when switching between dark and light themes without going into the customise menu and manually changing the colour. The default colours do not work with my light theme. I do find command-log useful for finding those accidentally pressed key bindings, as you see a long history of actions.
