The goal of the MouseFeed plugin is to make Eclipse users faster. This approach is complementary to the efforts targeting higher-level productivity. See the MouseFeed project blog for more information.

Key Promoter

Operating UI with keyboard is much faster than with a mouse. MouseFeed helps to form a habit of using keyboard shortcuts. When the user clicks on a button or on a menu item, the plugin shows a popup reminding about the key shortcut.

This is how it works - click on the Search toolbar button and you'll see a popup with the keyboard shortcut reminder:

You can specify a per-action configuration, you can also configure MouseFeed to completely prevent actions from running unless they are called by a keyboard shortcut. 

Development

I'm looking for the interesting ideas!

Installation

See installation instructions. The plugin works on Eclipse 3.3. Was tested on Linux and Windows.
