Know your software development tools

As Kevin Johnson states in Extreme Programming Applied (page 174) "pairs will be stronger if they both discover the most efficient way to use their tools". He also notes that shortcut keys "minimize the friction caused by back seat drivers". Having migrated to IntelliJ a few weeks back (from Eclipse) I have to agree with Kevin's shortcut point - I can't learn the Idea's keymap fast enough.
