This text document will be my personal reference guide to android studio shortcuts. Instead of collecting them all at once, and ending up never using them, I will be adding them little by little, grokking work, and then proceeding to add more. For the time being I am working on a linux as well as on a windows machine, so macos shortcuts will not be included. This may (or may not) change in the future
| Shortcut Key | Description |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + Shift + V | Paste from recent clipboard history |
| Ctrl + D | Duplicate the current line or selection |
| Ctrl + W | Incrementally selects a larger block of code. Starts from the word where the cursor is located and expands the selection to include enclosing expressions or code blocks. |
| Ctrl + Shift + W | Decreases the current selection, reversing the effect of Ctrl + W by progressively shrinking the selected code block. |
| Ctrl + Shift + Backspace | Takes you back to the last place you edited in your code. |
| Ctrl + Shift + ↑ / ↓ | Move the current line up or down in the code |
| Ctrl + P | Shows the parameter info for the method or function you're currently typing, displaying the expected arguments and their types. |
| Ctrl + + / Ctrl + - | Expands or collapses the current code block or function to help manage large code files. |
| Ctrl + Alt + L | Reformats the code in the current file or selected code snippet, applying the code style settings from your preferences. |
| Ctrl + Alt + Shift + L | Opens a dialog to reformat code with more options, allowing you to select a range of code and configure specific formatting settings before applying them. |
