xkeycaps does that; maybe you mean it. Though, nowadays it's yellow and not dark anymore. ;-)
Its list of keyboards is not very up to date, so special keys like "Mail" and "WWW" (on my Logitech keyboard) aren't handled.
That's bizarre isn't it? You'd think it would show you the keypress and say something like "unexpected keypress .... have you chosen the right keyboard?", but it just stays silent. So xkeycaps is prettier and will write a .Xmodmaprc file, but xev is still best for gathering complete information. Cheers, Dave
