In the Explorer tab in Rider my current keymap to change a file name is Shift+F6.
In most other systems I use, "Rename File" is F2. I've had a look in Settings > Keymap but haven't managed to find the correct value. Am I able to change this Keymapping?
Success! The correct keymapping is Main Menu > Refactor > Rename... F2 now works!
Thanks LazyOne :)

Often I have the case that I have a file opened in the tabs like item_category.xml here:
The project explorer still shows something else. Any way to open the path to item_category.xml in the project explorer? I already checked the right-click menu of item_category.xml, but couldn't find a matching option.
Use that symbol in the project explorer (shortcut: Alt+F1, 1):
More information on the feature: Locate a file in the Project tool window.
If you don't want to use mouse but keyboard shortcut
First option could be assigning a shortcut to Select in Project View may do the trick. It is located under Keymap/Other.
Second option could be to install Scroll From Source plugin for this. The details are here
Set the keyboard shortcut to the function of "Scroll From Source" in Project Panel. You can set the special shortcut by yourself to all OS(Window/Linux/Mac)
Default shortcut is Command + Control + S for Mac.
In Android Studio I changed the tab key function from file > settings > keymap. I chose to remove all other bindings from tab key (mistake!!). And now I can't get auto-complete to work like before.
I want to select an item from the auto-complete pop-up then press tab to complete the word (I think this the default behaviour):
But when I press tab it "completes the sentence" and puts my cursor at the end of the line:
I don't want this, I want to just complete the word and the cursor to stay in place. This is my current configuration for tab:
How do I get the default behaviour back? I really don't want to reinstall Android Studio and it is driving me crazy.
--------------- edit ---------------
"Complete current statement" binding doesn't work:
Now when I press tab nothing happens, it doesn't auto complete at all.
Found the problem. Had to bind "Choose lookup item replace" to tab key to get the default / correct behaviour.
Is there way to disable auto save in Android Studio?
I have already unchecked "Save files automatically if application is idle for n sec"
under Setting->General.
Anything else to be done?
Disable Autosave
File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Autosave > then uncheck both Save files if the IDE is idle for |15| seconds and Save files when switching to a different application > Apply
After doing the above, you may like to do enable the following 2 options too-
Mark Changed But Unsaved File
File > Settings > Editor > General > Editor Tabs > then check Mark modified (*) > Apply
Save One File with Ctrl+S
File > Settings > Keymap > search with save document > right click Save Document > Add Keyboard Shortcut > press Ctrl+S> OK > Remove > Apply
In android Studio 2.1.1, 2016
File -> Settings -> Appearance and Behavior -> System Settings
And see synchronization paragraph and uncheck autosave and/or 'use safe write'
If you go to Settings, and type Save in the search you will find under the IDE Settings an area called "General". From there you can find a number of options to control saving. It sometimes does not work and saving will continue anyway. Unfortunately there is no universal "turn-off" switch. AS is a hand holding IDE, you just have to get use to it.
Settings section you are seeking looks like this:
For Android Studio v3.3
Open Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S or File->Settings)
On the top left corner of the settings menu, search for "save" in the search bar field
Click on System Settings and all the sub-settings related to save will be highlighted
Uncheck Save files automatically if application is idle for * sec
Click on apply and close the settings menu.
It is highly recommended to follow this method
Mark Changed But Unsaved File which will help you distinguish between your unsaved and saved files.
The default IntelliJ / Android Studio "Redo" action shortcut is CTRL+Shift+Z and this is a common problem for Windows users.
A bigger problem is CTRL+Y is mapped to the "Delete line" action - and this causes the undo stack to be lost.
To solve this issue, how can the "Redo" shortcut be changed to CTRL+Y in IntelliJ?
Open Settings (press CTRL+ALT+S)
Click Keymap on the left list.
There is a combobox that contains keymaps. Select one of them (default means IntelliJ of course. We can't change any of pre-defined keymap however we can copy, edit and then use the edited one. So) we should copy "default" to change only redo mapping.
Give a new name to your copied keymap.
Right click on:
Main Menu -> Edit -> Redo to click "Add Keyboard Shortcut"
Press CTRL+Y
Click OK
Click "Remove" to "the shortcut is already assigned to other actions. Do you want to remove other assignments?"
If you want to use any "remove line" shortcut also, then go to delete line shortcut and give to it any other shortcut (like 5th step)
Click OK to close settings window.
Change the keymap setting to the Visual Studio, Eclipse, or NetBeans preset.
The settings window can be found under File > Settings. CTRL+ALT+S should work if the shortcut hasn't been changed. In the settings window you should find Keymap under the Appearance & Behavior settings list.
You can configure each editor command to a key combo that you like (as #ismail yavuz mentioned) such as for Redo to CTRL+Y or you can just change the Keymap setting to an editor that you are used to. This might be best if you are in the process of switching to IntelliJ as it is probably the path of least resistance. The default settings for the Visual Studio, Eclipse, and NetBeans keymaps all map Redo to CTRL+Y.
The Principle of least astonishment is strangely violated for Windows users but at least shortcuts is customizable. Because of this command being so contrary to the Windows experience I decided it wasn't worth learning the IntelliJ keyboard when anywhere you're working at you need to, you can quickly change. There are almost no drawbacks to not learning the IntelliJ. Remember that in the keymap menu you can search for a command in the search box or click on the magnifying glass on the right to search by key combo.
Of course neither answer is wrong. Chose your preference.
Do you know how to check the location of current editing file in the project tree panel (the very left panel of the Android Studio), except manually. (The worst case is that all the folders there are collapsed)
The Navigate->Class shortcut can show me the src file in edit panel (central panel) quickly. Then I want to know the src file's logic location in project tree (left panel), so that I can add some new files in the same package quickly. (e.g. right-click the package and add new Class).
Currently, I have to expand the project tree and find it folder by folder.
Actually, in Xcode there is such a shortcut named "Reveal in Project Navigate"
What a convenient way it is.
I wonder whether this is also supported in Android studio.
Thanks
You can use the Scroll from Source button in the Project Toolbar in the left of Android Studio.
Another solution is Alt+F1+1. You can also read Locate current file in IntelliJ for more answers.
Just enable the following option!
In Android Studio 4 it is now Always Select Opened File under the Settings menu in the project view.
For automatic scrolling, you can do following:
You need to ensure Autoscroll to Source and Autoscroll from source is enabled.
Whenever you change the file the Project tree will be highlighted according.
I have observed some slowness and lag if project size is big(several modules or huge code base) and you use short cut Ctrl + N to navigate to a class.
So the alternative would be to either to click following icon:
OR
Use keyboard shortcut:
Alt + F1 + 1 or Alt + F1 + Enter
You can add shortcut (keymap) to "reveal current editing file in project explorer" command.
Press Ctrl + Alt + S, for Windows user, to open Settings
Select Keymap on the sidebar
Find the command using search box, type this into it: select in project view
Right click the result then select Add Keyboard Shortcut
Type any keyboard combination you want, for example, me prefer shortcut Ctrl + K to reveal current editing file on project explorer
Click OK button. It will prompt you to remove keyboard shortcut you typed from existing command, so just click Remove button.
I'm new to android development. I used to code in Sublime Text 3. One of first thing I do to make android development feels more enjoyable is binding all shortcut I used in Sublime Text 3 to Android Studio. Now, it feels like home :)
For Mac users: Option+fn+F1, then Enter.
Android Studio 3.6.3 (April 2020)
Go to Preferences > Keymap & search for "Select in Project View" and assign your keyboard shortcut.
Under options menu, select Auto scroll from Source
Navigate -> Select In.. -> Project View -> Project
open pref -> Keymap, then search 'select file in project view', not 'select opened file'.
