Android Studio 4.1 layout editor can't select two elements - android-studio

When I click one element
then hold the shift key
and try to select another element
the first one is DE-selected!
What can I do?

I suppose you should hold the CTRL-key instead of the SHIFT key.

Sorry the thing is I was trying to select the elements in the Blueprint window. It worked when I made the selection in the Compoment Tree window.

Selecting SAP grey box element in a list

I'm wondering if you guys have an idea on how to handle this problem.
Process:
First i iterate trough this collection. If the input value is the same as the item of the grid box it will stop and select this item.
View of SAP GridBox
Note that every spy mode will select EVERYTHING and the only way to actually read this is with SAP GrixBox.
The problem here is that i need to click the small grey square on the left of the selected Notification. I cannot select it with any hotkey or with a spy mode.
Small grey square MANUALLY selected
My idea was to use capture an highlighted item with the Region mode and then move 5px to the left. But this does not seem to work ...
Any suggestion are welcome!
If I recall correctly the shortcut for selecting an entire row in Sap Grid is Shift + Space. You need to have a cell selected first, though.

Viewing Multiple columns in Android Studio

Is it possible to code in two or more columns in ANDROID STUDIO at the same time?
For example: In Sublime Text 3, I can go to View>Layout>columns:2 to be able to see two open files at the same time and edit both of them. This is a Screen Shot of two columns opened in sublime text
Right click on file name at the top of the editor. And select either split vertically/horizontally to duplicate or move right/left
we can do it just by taking a Right-click on the activity to be multitasked from the activity draw displayed just above the Typing console(coding area) and choose the option "Move to Right ":

In Intellij Translation Editor, how do I jump / go forward to the next item?

IntelliJ and Android Studio have a great "Translation Editor" where it shows you all the <string> entries of the strings.xml and you can add items and locales on the fly. It also shows which strings are not translated yet and offers a blank box to enter the translation
To use this rapidly, I would like to go from one string entry directly to the next without needing to switch to the mouse, hover around and double-click on the next item. It looks like this:
I think this is something any user would love. I was surprised when I couldn't make it happen. I can move to the next row via Enter but that row is then only focused, not selected and I can't type. I tried Enter again, Shift+Enter, F2 and many many many more keyboard combinations. Still no success
So: How can I either move to the next item directly or select a focused item in the Translation Editor?
My version is 14.1.4
To select a focused item press F2 (working in Translation Editor on Android Studio 2.2)

open file in new tab

Does Android Studio have the option of opening a referenced file in a new tab (like Xcode's Alt-click feature)?
If not, is there a way of creating this?
Open current editor tab in new window
Shift+F4
Even I couldn't find a way of "Duplicating Tabs". But there are two workarounds that might help:
1) Right click on a tab title and choose either Split Vertically or Split Horizontally. This can be done multiple times!
2) If for some reason you don't want to see the files side by side, there's another hack (works for me on Mac): First, right click on a tab title and choose either Split Vertically or Split Horizontally. Now, drag the extra tab (by its title) on to the title bar of Android Studio => the tab will pop out into a new window!
Hope this helps!

Aptana Studio 3: Keyboard Shortcuts for Compare?

Is there any way to assign keyboard shortcuts for compare functions? I want to be able to click a key to select the next difference, another to replace from left to right, and another to replace from left to right. This seems so basic, but I can't find it anywhere!
Window/Preferences/General/Editors/Keys
filter using the word "compare", see if that is what you are looking for
