Why Is This Plugin Maintained? #12

This plugin was created after Key Promoter X and has fewer features. Key Promoter X has a higher rating and tons more downloads. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9792-key-promoter-x

Aren't you just wasting JetBrains developer time that could be used elsewhere? Or if you have time to work on this, why wouldn't you just contribute to Key Promoter X instead?

This plugin has completely different functionality than Key Promoter X. Key Promoter X notifies you when you're invoking an action using the mouse instead of a keyboard shortcut. This plugin notifies you when you're doing something manually instead of using an IDE action.
