I am looking for something that could work with Asciinema, but honestly, anything that works at this point even if I had to change screen recording tools would do the job.

Just a side-note, though that doesn’t help, sorry.  
Asciinema already allows _recording_ your keystrokes since v2 and they are part of the recorded file.

However, the player cannot show them, yet: [Key-press overlay · Issue #152 · asciinema/discussions · GitHub](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player/issues/79)

Anyways, looking forward to Kakoume recordings by you that include keys 😬
