It would be extremely nice for screencasting Emacs to have a configurable input and prompt display similar to the calc trail. Wish list: - stack view of the keystream from view-lossage - annotations (i.e. an overlay) when a binding dispatches a command using the mechanism from mwe-log-commands. - annotations of minibuffer prompts - annotations of keybinding hints The view-lossage stream doesn't use the format one would want for user documentation: C-x b f o o <return> <return> <menu> v i e w - l o s s a g e <return> Something like the following would be more like documentation: C-x b [switch-to-buffer] f o o RET [minibuffer input] RET [minibuffer prompt confirm] [visiting buffer] foo M-x [<menu>] v i e w - l o s s a g e RET [minibuffer input] [visiting buffer] *Help* The parts in [brackets] are intended to indicate some kind of face overlay. As uncolored plaintext the information is just distracting. Another tool, http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ScreencastMode has good ideas for keybinding hints and one-key stepthrough. I don't think the typed-text narration style is a good fit for these particular screencasts and their target audience, however.
