Basically, what I'm saying is, I've been watching a Blender YouTube tutorial (or something like that), I saw that a lot of users had something at the bottom-left of their main 3D view that created a text output of their mouse and keyboard actions. Does anyone know how to enable that feature? Thanks!

$\begingroup$ The actual recording is done using any of the many "Screen Recorders" out there. I prefer "CamStudio" on windows. If you use Blender on Mac or Linux you will just need to google "screen recorder <your os here>" and you should find something. Although I think most linux distributions come with one. $\endgroup$– japrejaCommented Jan 12, 2015 at 7:16

This is an addon called Screencast keys. It is no longer distributed with the official releases due to some limitations, but you can install it yourself if you want:
download it and then click install from file in ⎈ Ctrl,> User preferences > Addons, then navigate to where you downloaded the zip and install.
Enable it, then turn it on in 3D view > Properties region (N) > Screen cast keys:

1$\begingroup$ @The Minecrafter and Blenr, most of the time you don't need to use this, unless you are making a tutorial for other people. It's primarily used in video so that watchers can understand what is going on outside the screen. $\endgroup$– ruckusCommented Jan 12, 2015 at 4:42
