I wrote one of these hackertypery-presenters a while back:

some slight differences; doitlive drives recording for you; I used ttyrec, so you get some more natural typing, like me editing the command line. I set it up so events within 20ms are fired by a single keypress; this makes for quicker typing in the replay while letting you insert natural gaps between commands. NB if your command output is slow, you'll need to type to make it replay, which is a bit weird.

The other thing is, I used this to intersperse the 'demo' portions with slides (the slides were just 'echo some text|figlet' recordings). In order to support multiple files like this, at the end of each recording, you need to press 'return' to move forward; but also, you can press backspace to go back to the start of the current script, or if at the start of a script, backspace again will jump to the start of the previous one.
