You can install Screenkey on Ubuntu direct from the Ubuntu Software app but be aware that this version has issues showing a system tray icon on the GNOME Shell desktop (but it works fine in MATE, Xfce, etc): I find Deja Vu Sans (available in Ubuntu out-of-the-box) pretty decent.

Yes – try Screenkey. Mac and Windows screencasters have access to an array of apps designed specifically to display key presses on screen as they are typed. When running the app displays key presses on screen as they’re pressed If you’re a screencaster or a YouTube video maker you’ll know how useful it can be to show which keys you’re pressing on your screen, as you press them.
