> Learn the keyboard shortcuts. You will be 10x (barely an exaggeration) more productive if you learn to use the keyboard shortcuts. I die a little bit inside anytime I watch another person reach for their mouse and navigate around the editor at a glacial pace.
Some of us spend quite a bit of time doing tasks other than development. We use the IDE's UI and if we do a particular task a lot, then we start to look for/memorize the shortcut key.

I use an extension that gives a small popup in the bottom right corner with what the relevant keybind is. If I do something often enough, it eventually sticks in my memory. Still wouldn't want to be forced to use keybinds.
- probablynish 4y agoI recently installed the "Key Promoter" plugin. It shows a popup message in the bottom right every time you use your mouse for an action, telling you what the keyboard shortcut for that action is. I've picked up a couple of shortcuts since installing it, it cuts out the 'let me go and look this up' part of the process.
