I guess it's possible. I'm not sure I can think of any way to be
sure one way or another. To me the biggest difference between
keeping "navigate with hjkl keys" (as in vi) in one's head and
keeping "insert import statement with control-M" (as in Eclipse)
in one's head is that for the latter there might be more obvious
ways to get the same effect with more trouble. <shrug>

Eh. I use ctrl-shift-O (I think, don't have it in front of me right
now) for organize imports. And there's the whole "with a PROPER
editor, you can navigate with LESS trouble using the conveniently
supplied direction keys that all modern keyboards have" thing.

Typing imports in manually is, of course, both obvious and more
trouble than using "organize imports", to the point that I only do it
these days when the latter screws up. (It seems to have one or two
buggy corner-cases mostly involving it replacing "import
foo.bar.Quux;" with "import baz.mumble.Quux;" and then complaining
that all your occurrences of someQuux.doTheMacarena() are bogus method
calls. :P)
