Sometimes I unknowingly switch on something that could be called multi-line editing in Android Studio.
Is that a feature or a bug?
How so I switch it off? I always restart Android Studio to get out of that mode.
Finally found the key stroke as I accidentally hit it:
On Mac: Cmd + Shift + 8

I updated the Android Studio to newest version (4.1) and it seems the key shortcut on Mac ⌘[ for moving to previous location stopped working. I tried to find it in preferences but have no idea how this is called. Do you know where to change it back?
Well it seems it was moved to different keyboard now: Cmd + Alt + Left / Right. ¯\(ツ)/¯
I am new to Android Studio. I recently installed Android Studio 4.0. The keyboard is not working in the Editor. The text cursor just blinks but does not respond to the keyboard. It works when I press 's' but again the same problem arises when I select any text in the editor. Also, any of the shortcut keys except Ctrl + Z does not work. Please Help me out with this problem.
Thanks.
If set-up everything good, then close all project and open again your Android Studio....
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.
In Android Studio, my cursor is white rectangle. I'm cannot write anything. And changed my keyboard button actions.
h-->left arrow j-->down arrow k--> up arrow l-->right arrow
How can I fix problem or can I reset Android Studio settings?
Just got the same problem as yours. And this is the solution:
Go to File > Settings > Editor > General > Appearance, then uncheck the Use block caret
Try fn + ins. That worked for me.
Go to settings and plugins and just disable the IdeaVim plugin it works in 2020.itx also occurs due to this extension.
In windows, win+insert worked for me.
Presse Fn+0. It will work instantly.
go to plugins and disable IdeaVim then restart android studio it will be ok ...
Press Fn + Del on your keyboard together.
Explanation: Its because Delete key on keyboard has Insert function. So pressing Del along with Fn key will enable Insert mode within your editor from Overwrite mode as in your case.
It's ins in the latest version of Android Studio.
In windows if you press INSERT key cursor mode will get change,use WINDOWS + INSERT to get back into normal mode
For mac users just right click and deselect "Column selection mode" or press Shift + Command + 8
Just restart Android Studio and voilà !
None of the other solutions worked for me (Windows 7, maybe with an inactive Lock Num key).
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
https://github.com/vinayakg/VisualStudioKeymapforAndroidStudio/blob/master/settings.jar.
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.
