This question already has an answer here:

How I can activate option which will display my pressed keystrokes or executed commands in normal mode on the screen?

Especially it would be good, if it would give a slight info what specific keystroke did (like in case of errors).

I've tried to use :set showcmd, but it doesn't show single keystrokes like w, b, j, etc.

I know it's possible to show a command history by q:, but I'm looking for some method of displaying them automatically on the screen while using/pressing them.
