The keyloger does not record the mouse clicks, only the keystrokes. So the keylog would read "worddalouspassscan". I suspect this would discourage most simple bad guys and they would quickly abandon trying to figure it out and go in search of easier targets. Perfect? No. But I bet it would confuse the bad guys most of the time.
