I always thought a “Big Brother” opt-in mode would be cool.
The IDE shows you the shortcut whenever it can when you do something with the mouse. It keeps a history and once you’ve done something [n] times with the mouse it forces you to use the shortcut, greying out the button with an overlay indicating the shortcut.
You can of course configure the threshold and opt out completely (IMO it should be opt-in).
I’m speaking as a vim user who gradually grew my repertoire of shortcuts over many years. I am very slow to incorporate new ones. The driver for me is my dislike for moving my hand off the KB. In fact I prefer a laptop touchpad to a mouse for programming so my hands stay put.

- nerdponx 4y agoHappy Key Promoter X user here. I don't use JetBrains stuff much as I've been gradually building out a nice Neovim config with more IDE features, but when I do use it, I appreciate getting tips for keyboard shortcuts I use often, e.g. as part of my edit-test-debug workflow. The notification is unintrusive enough that I can ignore it for less-common workflows that I just use the mouse for.
