as proficient with them as I am with mine, despite
the massive handicap. Still, I cringe every time one of you describes
the input contortions and mental gymnastics required to do what is
inexpressibly easy in my tools of choice. That has to take a toll,
even if you are so used to it that you're no longer consciously aware
of it...

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.

If I wanted to use the arrow keys to navigate in vim, I would.
Having long since paid the training cost of learning the hjkl
method, it's more convenient to keep doing that.

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)

Huh. I've run into situations in which there would be multiple ways
for Eclipse to generate a valid "import" (e.g., for List, which could
be java.awt.List or java.util.List), but usually when that happens
it prompts me.
