Yet Another Keystrokes Overlay (YAKO)

YAKO is a design-focused keystrokes overlay for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Fabric). It shows your WASD, mouse buttons, sneak, jump, and sprint inputs — fully customizable to match your layout and visual preferences.

From rounded and transparent strokes to sound profiles and profile switching, YAKO is built with flexibility and user experience in mind.

Features

Visual Keystrokes HUD
Shows real-time feedback for WASD, LMB/RMB, Shift, Ctrl, and Space. You can customize the layout, look, and text for each key individually.
Customizable Layout
Drag and resize each keystroke freely. Supports transparent strokes, outlines, rounded borders, and custom labels.
Interactive Mouse Controls
Intuitive mouse-based interactions let you build or edit your layout without menus (see controls below).
Sound Feedback System
Enable keystroke sounds for a tactile typing experience. Choose between linear, tactile, or clicky sound profiles. Volume and sound state can be adjusted per layout profile.
Profile System
Save and switch between multiple keystroke layouts using the /yako command. Each profile stores strokes, layout, sound settings, and more.
Command-Based Customization
Use the /yako command to manage layouts, toggle features, switch lettering and adjust sound settings.
Keypress Counter
Ever wonder how many times you pressed a specific button? With this feature you would have an answer!
