I haven’t had to use the mouse much when I’m using IntelliJ.

On the down side — I’ve to remember all the keyboard shortcuts. This is hardly an option when there are a whole lot of keyboard shortcuts to remember, quite a lot keyboard shortcuts in most IDEs don’t really make much sense, and quite a few features do not even have keyboard shortcuts!

NO LONGER!

This Quick Assist (CTRL+3) feature in the latest version (3.3-M7) of eclipse makes available ALL the UI elements – views, menu entries, even refactorings all in one single place. What’s more it supports CamelCaseCompletion. This combination makes for some kick-ass development.

Keyboard Shortcuts — what’s that ?

Oh yeah, and there’s support for a brand new refactoring — Introduce Parameter Object
