Implement keyboard shortcut helper
Hello,
Features which help user to learn hot keys becoming more and more popular. This can be seen by increasing popularity of IDE plugins which implement this feature.
So my suggestion is to implement same logic here. When user perform actions not by using keyboard shortcuts new popup should be shown with information about hot key combination which can be used instead.
Cheers,

The menu items should already show the shortcut. Same for the tooltip of a toolbar button.
Way you say "already show the shortcut" you most likely mean that menu items have name and shortcut displayed in the menu item. My point is about showing a popup when you click on menu item and this way 'teach' user about most common shortcuts. Added picture how it looks like in Eclipse IDE
I just meant, this information is already there, just not in a fancy popup. BTW, when exactly a popup should be shown if a dialog is triggered by the command - should the popup delay showing the dialog?
Popup should be shown right after action is performed (or before it is performed) but after user clicked on menu item. For example in Eclipse IDE you can enable/disable this feature. You have two options: a) when action is invoked via keyboard b) when action is invoked via mouse click. I think 'a' is not about showing popup when you used F7 to create a branch its about using Alt+B to open Branch menu item and then use arrows to navigate down and press Enter on the menu item (e.g. you invoke command using keyboard bot not by using hotkey shortcuts).
