Comments:
There seems to be a problem in Idea 11 on Linux though - the plugin configuration is never saved properly => I need to remove the ugly default colors and borders (and rediculous font sizes) every time I open IDE, which is quite annoying.
The plugin seems to store data for each GUI item already (e.g. counter, how many times the item already has been used by click).
Would be nice, if it could also store an ignore flag and provide an option (in settings as well as in the popups themselves) to remove certain GUI items from promotion.
Thanks for consideration!
But v1.0.10 (my first try) sometimes hangups IDEA11 IU-111.69...
Could have been that i was clicking on things that didnt have a keyboard shortcut so nothing was displayed.
all things with a keyboard shortcut are being displayed now and i even noticed that keypromoter noticed when i was using a menu item without a shortcut many times and prompted me to create a short cut for it, cool.
"Would you like to assign shortcut to 'Show information about IntelliJ IDEA' action cause we noticed it was used 3 time(s) by mouse?"
PhpStorm 1.0
build PS-95.192
Im not seeing anything with this plugin installed.
What i expected to see was that when i clicked on a menu item such as 'help' that somewhere the keyboard equivalent for that action would be displayed (alt+h)
I see nothing. help opens with the click as usual.
Is there anything that needs to be done to activate the plugin?
Installed through the built in plugin installer.
Love the idea to help me get better with using keyboard shortcuts instead of mouse clicks.
