MacMost: Making the most of your Mac, iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.

There’s actually an applescript to toggle it on and off for you:

set proc_ to “/System/Library/Components/KeyboardViewer.component/Contents/SharedSupport/KeyboardViewerServer.app/Contents/MacOS/KeyboardViewerServer”
set app_ to “KeyboardViewerServer”
try
do shell script “ps -axwww | grep” & space & proc_ & space & “| grep -v grep”
tell application app_ to quit
on error
do shell script proc_ & space & “> /dev/null 2>&1 &”
end try

Then, you can make it as an applescript application and run it from spotlight.
