Configuring custom key mappings
You can choose from a variety of preset keymaps, or you can modify a preset keymap in Android Studio’s keymap settings to create a new custom keymap.
To open the key mapping settings, click File > Settings > Keymap (on a Mac, click File > Properties > Keymap ).
Figure 1. Android Studio key mapping settings window.
- Keymap drop-down menu: Select the desired keymap from this menu to toggle between preset keymaps.
- Action list: Right click to modify it. You can add more keyboard shortcuts to your actions, add mouse shortcuts to associate an action with a mouse click, or remove the current shortcut. If you’re using a preset keymap, the shortcut to the edit action will automatically create a copy of the keymap and add your changes to the copy.
- Copy button: Select a key map to use as a starting point from the drop-down menu and click Copy to create a new custom key map. You can modify the keymap name and shortcuts.
- Reset button: Select a key map from the drop-down menu and click Reset to return it to its original configuration.
- Search box: Type text here to search for keyboard shortcuts by action name.
- Search by shortcut : Click Find Actions by Shortcut and type a shortcut to press the shortcut to search for the action.
