I can't find the Screencast Keys which allow me to start the display. I have tried the right hand pop-up menu using the hotkey N, but I could not find the Screencast Keys menu which is usually located under the Transform orientations rollout.

Screencast keys is now an external addon (it was formerly distributed with blender, but has since been removed). To use it:
download it (
RMB > Save Link As… in most browsers, to save it as a .pyfile)Click install from file in ⎈ Ctrl⎇ AltU>User preferences > Addons:
Select the downloaded file:
Enable it:
If you want it to stay enabled after quitting blender, be sure to click Save User Settings.

$\begingroup$ While i note that it's been 3.5 years and nobody has ever mentioned this, wouldn't it be better to explain that the link is to the code for the add-on, which you have to copy and paste into a text editor and save as a .py file? It took me a minute to figure that out. $\endgroup$ – kim holder wants Monica back May 15 '18 at 14:19
