Is there a way to print the current sequence of command keys in normal mode?

Sometimes I get lost in normal mode. Is there a way to have vim/vi print the last keys pressed, perhaps at the top/bottom of the screen.

For example, in normal mode I may enter the command 22gg to go to line 22.

It is a somewhat trivial example, however I may accidentally type 222gg. I would like to be able to see what I enter into normal mode somehow. Is this possible or is there a plugin for this?

Edit: The linked question doesn't seem to resolve the problem

I've followed the link but it isn't working.

What did you do and how is "not working"? It works fine for the rest of us. – muru Jan 27 '18 at 11:33
Did you mean set showcmd in your ~/.vimrc? – iBug Jan 27 '18 at 13:56
Yeah I have set showcmd but it doesn't appear to do anything? – user3728501 Jan 30 '18 at 10:52
