screenkey: Display keys and mouse buttons which are currently being pressed on the screen.
$ screenkey --mouse
try on your machine

The command "screenkey --mouse" is used to launch the "screenkey" program with the additional option to display mouse input on the screen.

"screenkey" is a utility that displays keyboard events on the screen as you type. It is particularly useful for screencasting or live demonstrations where you want to show the keys being pressed.

By including the "--mouse" option along with the command, it enables the display of mouse input alongside the keyboard events. This means that in addition to seeing the keys you press on the screen, you will also see the movements and clicks of your mouse pointer.
