Description

First of all, thank you for that software. It works really well!

I realized that a timestamp is only made if "enter, ctrl+c, ctrl+d" is pressed. For my purpose I would like to have a new line in my log file for e.g. every 5 seconds. Im asking for that because I want to log which keys are pressed in pentesting tool. In that case you will not use a "enter, ctrl+c,ctrl+d" often. That results in a single log entry.

Is there any possible option to insert additionally timestamps every few seconds?

I hope you get my point and can help me further.

Research direction

Start by tracing the timestamp creation associated with Enter, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+D, then inspect how key presses are collected for the log file. The issue does not name files or tests; done would mean supporting periodic log entries at a configurable interval such as five seconds, including when those control keys are not pressed.
