Whenever I press Ctrl + / to comment out a line in Android Studio in a C++ file, it just moves the caret down 1 line without making a comment. Creating a different keybinding for this shortcut has the same effect.
I've used this feature fine before, it only started happening when I opened up android studio today. I've tried disabling all plugins and restarting Android Studio to no avail.
If the keyboard shortcut doesn't work. Then try
Alt + Shift + Insert
What It will do is activate column selection mode, making it easy to just click and drag to select multiple lines of code that you can type on. It's easier than trying to make an entirely new keyboard shortcut.
The other way to do Column Selection Mode is to just right click anywhere on the code and it will be in menu popup, click to activate/de-activate.
I'm told that Alt+Left/Right should navigate between the open tabs in Android Studio, but for some reason I get this kind of behavior when I do multiple tab movements:
After the 3rd/4th (not sure) use of the shortcut the focus goes away from the editor window to the tool window on the left and then the shortcut seems to switch between tabs in there.
I'm using Android Studio 3.4.2, Win 10.
Why is this happening and how can I avoid it?
Todays i am really confused about the shortcuts keyboard on mac,here is my scrap image from android studio preferences:
there is no such shortcuts,and i have looked some comments about this question,somebody said Ctrl + G should make sense,but i tried and not work.because i really like this function in eclipse and can not find it on android studio,every time i want to go to specific line is too troublesome.thank you!
I'm not 100% sure because I don't own a Mac, but here they say it's Command + L for Mac OSX. Hope it works :)
As of Arctic Fox version 2020.3.1 the keyboard shortcut for goto line/column is Command + G.
In Android Studio I can start renaming via Shift + F6. Then Android Studio shows me a box telling me about the changes and presents me with a "Do Refactor"-button. When hovering over the button Android Studio shows me no information about a hotkey I could press. Is there a hotkey for that button?
I found that it works with pressing Alt + d.
There shouldn't be a keyboard shortcut for every button.
Usually program developers provide hotkeys just for most used basic functions.
There is Shift+F6 in Android Studio for refactoring and that's the closest option to get the functionality you want.
I am new to Android studio, it seems to be great IDE. But I have found that it has really strange key and shortcut mapping. I am using Czech keyboard.
When I try to type ">" by pressing Right ALT + . the symbol is not appearing, and I got message box that says "Go to custom Region. There are no custom foldings regions in the current file."
It is really strange behaviour, I have problem with writing many more characters like brackets,..... I tried to set keymap profiles to Visual Studio and more. But nothing seems to work. I didn't have any of these problems in any other IDE (Netbeans, Eclipse, Visual Studio, Xamarin)
Add this line:
actionSystem.force.alt.gr=true
to this file:
...\Android\android-studio\bin\idea.properties
As written here:
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-91975
Yes, well... its problem with "old" keyboards. Newer keyboards don't have Alt Gr keys and IDE doesn't count on this in default.
Solutions:
Buy a new keyboard with no Alt Gr on it (using right Alt instead of Alt Gr is working for me)
Go to File -> Settings -> Keymap and search for implementation - delete Ctrl + Alt + B, hit "Apply" and you can now use this shortcut for "{"
As already mentioned below... add following line to ..\<Android Studio folder>\bin\idea.properties:
actionSystem.force.alt.gr=true
(update) Since newer version of AS (not sure which one, should be 2.3.3+), you don't need to manually access the properties file. Go to Help -> Edit Custom Properties and add actionSystem.force.alt.gr=true there.
Go to Preferences -> Keymap and choose Mac OS X as Keymaps.
I have been a long time Visual Studio user, so wanted to leverage all the keyboard shortcuts that I had picked up using Visual Studio.
On Android Studio, I first changed the Keymap to be Visual Studio. You can do this by using Alt+F7 on Windows and then search for Keymap.
By using the Visual Studio Keymap in Android studio, I got only debug related mapping, which was still a minority of what I use in Visual Studio.
So went ahead and added/modified some more mappings.
Here is the github link

PR's welcome.
As for '>' sign (AltGr + .) and Android Studio 1.0.1, go to File>Settings, choose Keymap in IDE Settings section, search for "GotoCustomRegion" item (it is located in MainMenu-Navigate) and remove its mapping (via context menu).
If you're using macOS newest versions and have had weird behavior with the shortcuts, try this:
Go to Android Studio -> Preferences -> Keymap
Now change from "Mac OS X" to "Mac OS X 10.5+" and hit apply.
