## What it is
Key Promoter X is an IntelliJ-based IDE plugin that teaches keyboard shortcuts by showing them whenever you perform an action with the mouse. It helps users gradually replace repetitive mouse clicks with keyboard shortcuts for a faster, mouse-free workflow.

## Use cases
- learn keyboard shortcuts in IntelliJ IDEA
- stop using the mouse in my IDE
- show me the shortcut when I click a button
- create shortcuts for buttons without keybindings
- track which shortcuts I keep missing
- speed up my Android Studio workflow with shortcuts

## When to choose
- you use IntelliJ-based IDEs like IDEA, Android Studio, or CLion and want to learn shortcuts passively
- you want non-intrusive notifications plus a persistent list of missed shortcuts
- you want to easily assign shortcuts to actions that lack them

## When to avoid
- you use an IDE outside the IntelliJ platform
- you already know all the shortcuts you need
- you find shortcut popups distracting and prefer manual study
