    I remember when I was using JetBrains IDE they had this feature that would list all shortcuts and IDE features and how frequently I use them. This was excellent for feature discovery. I would regularly check it out and scroll to the list of features I never used and try them.

    I always wanted the same for Vim, zsh, etc.

      Do they still do this? I'm using PyCharm daily but have never seen it. Would indeed be pretty cool!

        It is probably this plugin <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;halirutan&#x2F;IntelliJ-Key-Promoter-X" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;halirutan&#x2F;IntelliJ-Key-Promoter-X

        Ha! I just checked it out (had to install IntelliJ for this!) and it is still there!!! &quot;Help&quot; -&gt; &quot;My productivity&quot;.

        There’s a nice feature that will tell you when you could have used a shortcut instead of the manual thing.

          In Win95 this worked by writing the shortcut next to the menu item
