Alt+Left/Right behaving strangely Android Studio - android-studio

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?

What is the bar that shows which method my cursor is in called and where did it go when I upgraded to Android Studio 3.1.0

There used to be this helpful bar at the top of my Android Studio Editor, below the file tabs, which showed which method the cursor was in. I'm finding that I'm desperately missing it since upgrading to Android Studio 3.1.0 from Android Studio 3.0.1. I couldn't figure out what it was called.
It isn't a navigation bar, because that shows only the file path.
After reloading the old version of Android Studio, I discovered that this bar is called Breadcrumbs.
The new version changes its appearance slightly and adds new options for whether to place it at the top or bottom of the editor window. It seems to default to being placed at the bottom of the editor window.
To quickly set Breadcrumbs options ctrl+shift+a (or macintosh equivalent) to bring up Find Action and search for breadcrumbs
Hit enter on the non-options result and select top or whatever you want
Enjoy having your breadcrumbs back on top.

How to disable/pass refactoring preview window in Android Studio

I'm using Android Studio for a long time and I always found annoying the fact that you have to manually move the mouse to click 'Do Refactor' when refactoring. Is there a way to do it by some keyboard shortcut or completely skip this preview window? When I'm refactoring I know what I'm doing and I don't feel like I need a preview in most cases.
I didn't find anything that could answer my question.
I had a similar issue with Android Studio. I couldn't find a way to disable preview, but I did find a keyboard shortcut workaround. Just press Alt+D and it will "do refactor".

Shortcuts do not work on android studio

I recently installed android studio after long time using eclipse
I have properly configured the ide and it works, but I have a problem with keyboard shortcuts.
I have setup shortcuts that comes by default and, for example, want to collapse or expand all code, this is the shortcut:
However, using that shortcut creates a comment in my code.

I looking setup, see the shortcut is correct:
This happens to me most keyboard shortcuts, tried different ways but do not know how to work properly.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Visual Studio 2012 fullscreen mode with all opened toolbars from non-fullscreen mode?

When I press Shift+Alt+Enter to enter to fullscreen mode, all toolbars like "Solution Explorer" or "Properties" are automatically hidden (there is only toolbar on the top and code editor). It's a bit annoying. I want everything the same as it was before entering to fullscreen. Do you know how to fix that?
At first time not but..
Visual Studio has a couple of running modes, and each of these modes has it’s own memory. So when you’re in Full Screen, Debug, or Normal mode, Visual Studio will remember your window/panel/toolbar locations for that specific session.

Resharper 7.1 messing up Visual Studio 2012 preview feature

I've installed Resharper 7.1, and I'm getting some strange behaviour
When navigating through code using F12 (go to definition), VS 2012 was usually displaying the preview tab on the upper right hand side, to avoid lots of files being open and stacking up
However, I've noticed that now it behaves erratically
I've tried with resharper on and off, this is what happens
Resharper ON : when pressing F12 into a base class name (or any class definition), instead of previewing the file, VS just opens the file (same that happened in VS 2010).
Resharper OFF : when pressing F12 into a base class name (or any class definition), VS opens the preview tab, file doesn't stay open
So, I assume that Resharper is doing something with the shortcuts or some strange option that's messing the preview feature
More strange is that SOMETIMES it does work with resharper, but I couldn't find a distinctive pattern of when it's working and when it's not...
Any ideas?
It looks like this was a FEATURE! (can't believe it...)
