Android Studio Shortcuts (Mac)

Notes:

• Two of the most useful shortcuts utilize the Fn (function) keys. It is therefore recommended that you enable the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" option [System Preferences > Keyboard].
• Be sure to enable the Mac OS X 10.5+ keymap in Android Studio [Preferences > Keymap].
• A fairly complete shortcut list can be found here.

Useful symbols:

⌘ = Command Key

how to switch edit window

@LeoYe168 You can use Command + Shift + [ and Command + Shift + ] to switch between opened Editor Tabs. Link

Awesome guide. Help me in speed up my development. Big Thanks.

That really awesome.. Finding errors in a file. key F2

Really awesome guide.
To find parent implementation of an overridden method use key Command-U

Real nice, thanks.

So how can I insert a for loop (auto complete) by typing 'for' then ...

⌃-left arrow, ⌃-right arrow will cause the switching operating system's windows. How can handle with this?

@mahrezzz I've since switched to a tabless configuration, so I'm not sure any longer. Sorry!

@mahrezzz Command + shift + [ and Command + shift + ] or Navigate-Back and Navigate-Forward will switch between tabs in the editor.

Split vertically, and horizontally are good to have too, but you need to set it manually via Cmd+, to open Preferences. Then click on Keymap. Enter in text field to search for Split horizontally or Split vertically. Add your keymap there.

I've changed OS from Windows to MacOS. Is there anyone who knows same shortcut of alt up(or down) arrow in MacOS?
This shortcut makes u move upper or below methods.

Good work man.

I have a weird problem, in my android studio in MAC I am not able to print "|" (OR) symbol, (In both french and english key board), I tried all the pairings with using command, alter and ctrl but doesn't work, thus I have to go to other editor, and type "|" (Using alt + / (key besides 1)) and copy paste in android studio. Any solutions ?

Really helpful . Thanks!

This is very helpful 👍

Thanks, this is really helpful....

Thanks man, helps so much for moving from PC to MAC for android dev.

how can i select an entire widget with a shortcut?

Command-up arrow should help (as long as the widget is a leaf) if you mean widgets defined in XML. For non-leaf widgets this doesn't work quite as I would expect.

Some years have passed since you posted this and this stuff is still super useful! Thank you :)

@Banananabandit glad it helped you! :)
