One request:
Would it be possible to have a less obtrusive notification? (i.e., could one apply an optional transparency or some other means of lessening the UI impact when the status flashes, while retaining a usable duration?)
The reason I ask is that certain hotkeys I've assigned (e.g. Alt+M, F9 for running selected Maven actions) only work when I'm focused on a particular pane; this is likely a bug in IDEA, but it would be nice to be able to continue easily through my work without getting interrupted by the notification when I choose to use the mouse to execute actions. It is a little frustrating when certain areas become unclickable when the notification is flashing.
Altogether though, great plugin!
All others stopped working?!
Maybe it would be nice to put "shortcut" or "keyboard" in the plugin's name.
Just searching "key" gives too many results and searching "shortcut" gives one plugin, but not the "Key promoter" sadly.
Anyway, very good job !
Thank very much for contributing to productivity!

One problem though, I am using two monitors and the popup is always displayed in monitor 1 but the IDEA itself is positioned in monitor 2. If it is possible to fix this it will deserve 5 stars.
