I do most of my Eclipse work on a laptop with a touch sensitive mouse pad
and no mouse. I am using refactoring more and more and finding it cumbersome
to invoke. I have to hit the right mouse button and navigate to a sub-menu
using the touch pad. It takes probably 5 seconds per time I do it. That is
not much but it adds up and can get annoying after a while.
What would be nice is to have a refactoring toolbar where I could just hit a
button for a refactoring. Ideally it would be near the editor and in a truly
fancy implementation could be like a floating toolbar near the edit point.
One of the tough parts would be to create meaningful icons to represent the
refactorings.
I know I should submit it as an RFE, but thought I might post it here for
any enterprising person looking for an idea for an Eclipse plug-in.

You're pressing the "Windows" key (the one with the Windows logo; I did the
same thing). On some keyboards, there's another key (usually on the right
side of the keyboard, between the Alt and Ctrl keys) that looks like a
context menu with a mouse pointer. If you press it, you get a context menu.
You can then use the mnenomics and arrow keys to navigate (e.g., menu key, t
gets the Refactoring submenu). Thanks, Dave, I had totally forgotten what
that key did... if I ever knew.
