<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## Summary of the Pull Request This pull request introduces the new KeystrokeOverlay module to PowerToys, including its documentation, build configuration, installer setup, and spell-check dictionary updates. KeystrokeOverlay can be used to show keys pressed on the screen like Visual Studio Code's Screencast Mode. It provides customization options for text size and background, offers four types of display modes, and three shortcuts for toggling on/off the display, cycling through monitors, and through different display modes (see below for more details). <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #981 <!-- - [ ] Closes: #yyy (add separate lines for additional resolved issues) --> - [x] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.
