Android Studio 4.0 shortcuts changed

Question

This week I updated to Android Studio 4.0, and one of the first things I noticed was that some of my favorite shortcuts like CMD+W has changed to CMD+F4 (which the touchbar wont actually show the F keys anymore), and also CMD+O changed to CMD+N. Is there any way to get them back to what they were to set to in Android Studio 3?

Fixed, it happen because Android Studio 4.0 by default use Intellij Keymap, fixed by change back to MacOs keymap. Android Studio > Preferences > Keymap > macOS

For Mac users:

I went to:

~/Library/Preferences/Android Studio 4.0/options

and deleted keymap.xml, which I noticed was not present on the previous version folder.

It seems to have the shortcuts working as expected.

Method 1:

Go to this location :

C:\Users\<user_name>\.AndroidStudio3.0\config\keymaps

And copy the file present inside that (Usually Default Proper Redo.xml) and paste it inside

C:\Users\<user_name>\.AndroidStudio4.0\config\keymaps

It will bring back all old shortcuts or alternatively

Method 2:

go to settings and search for keymap this window will come up

and search for the keystroke you want or navigate around those

Right-click on the shortcut you want to change and a window will come up just press the new keystroke that you want to assign

If the same keystroke is applied to some other actions it will show a dailog just confirm it by removing old keystrokes ...

You can relate to MacOS ...

To open the keymap settings, choose File > Settings (on Mac, Android Studio > Preferences) and navigate to the Keymap pane.

Select the short cut you want to modify then add/assign new keys to short cut.

For MacOS you can use : "macOS Keymap" plugin by JetBrains

Restart IDE then select macOS in Keymap preferences
