Since yesterday, I cannot close curly brackets on Android Studio with my keyboard... I have an AZERTY french keyboard, and the closing curly bracket is optained by doing "alt gr" + "=".

  • All the other char involving "alt gr" key are working on Android Studio (including opening curly brackets)

  • I can insert closing curly brackets by "copy/pasting" this char in Android Studio

  • This problem occures ONLY in Android Studio (here for instance, it is working: }})

  • I already restart both Android Studio and my computer, but that does not solve the problem

Do you guys had some problem similar? Is it a temporary bug of Android Studio?

Thanks in advance!

The problem is probably with the software maybe there's is a setting which you might have accidentally messed up while snooping around. Was it working earlier?\

edit:

Add this line:

actionSystem.force.alt.gr=true

to this file:

...\Android\android-studio\bin\idea.properties

  • The fix is for Atom, no ? Not for Android Studio ? – Julien Mazars Dec 07 '17 at 10:23

    NB: The file is a pain to edit. How I did on Windows: - Open a cmd window as administrator - Open the directory Program Files/Android/Android Studio/bin - command notepad idea.properties - Edit and save the file adding the magic line "...\Android\android-studio\bin\idea.properties" – Julien Mazars Dec 07 '17 at 11:21
  • Faster way to edit the file is clicking on "Help > Edit Custom Properties" – Awsom3D Apr 13 '19 at 22:26
