My favorite shortcut is "Ctrl + D", duplicates the current line or selection.

[@yuf669]

Oh boy, this video is short cut. In part 2, please, talk about:
CTRL+P - show parameters of method when cursor inside parameters;
CTRL+ALT+P - extract parameter from method;
CTRL+ALT+V - select any statement and extract it to variable;
CTRL+SHIFT+J - join lines;
ALT+J - multiline selection;
CTRL+ALT+T - surround with menu (useful for adding try/catch blocks);
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+T - refactor code menu;
ALT+INSERT - generate code menu (override/implement methods, generate toString()/hash() methods);
CTRL+ALT+L - reformat code according language code convention (i press this shortcut every time code is changed);
CTRL+ALT+O - delete unused imports;
SHIFT+F6 - rename anything renamable;
CTRL+/ - comment/uncomment line;
CTRL+SHIFT+/ - comment/uncomment selection;
CTRL+W- select statement around cursor or selection and CTRL+SHIFT+W - unselect selection;
and many more you can find.

[@mracipayam]

Thanks!

[@VishnuHaridas]

Adding my regular shortcuts:
1. Ctrl+E - shows the recent files. A really useful shortcut. Try Ctrl+Tab also.
2. Ctrl+Shift+A - to run menu actions like "Analyze stack trace" or "Soft wrap".
3. Ctrl+W - for selecting words (keep on pressing W for expanding the selection)
4. Click and hold mouse, then hold Alt, then drag - for column selection mode. Used when copying intended code/comment.
5. Hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt, then click - for multiple cursors.
6. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Insert - for a new scratch file (temporary files, not added to Git)
Used only while presenting or doing full-screen editing: Ctrl+` (backquote) then choose "View Mode".

[@Ilamarea]

"Ctrl+Alt+*Shit*+Insert" Huehuehue

[@VishnuHaridas]

@@Ilamarea Oh shift! Thanks for pointing that out, updated, shift!

[@mouhamadbourouba5382]

[@ravi.sharma96]

Ctrl + N -> find classes
Ctrl + Shift + N -> find any type of file in module
Ctrl + Shift + F -> find specific code from all files

[@androidfeatures-kotlin4630]

shift + shift you can find all files in the project

[@ahmedel-hady3249]

My personal favorite is Ctrl+W lets you select based on context :)

[@chornge1]

Parameter Info: Cmd + P (mac), Ctrl + P (non-mac) - it shows the allowed arguments that are acceptable inside a function's parenthesis

[@novaart2297]

thank you so much philipp finally found vid about this

[@iamkrishn]

Some other shortcuts:
Shift + F6 -> Renames the occurrences of any word. (Useful when you made a spelling mistake or want to add some more words for better understanding).
Also not a shortcut, but a faster way to make Getters & Setters is to go to: Code -> Generate -> Getters/Setters/Getters & Setters. And there are plenty more options there.
Philip can make another video on this for Intermediate/Advanced Android Devs.

[@ShymKTLMezun]

Sometimes this shortcut doesn't work I don't know why)

[@chandrusundaramurthy3310]

Helpful! Thanks

[@elijahonduso]

Like the video, watch later. That's the spirit with your videos. Kudos

[@thyagonevessilvestre1248]

I always do the same.

[@n-o-i-d]

A mouse with lateral back and forward buttons is something that I came to appreciate a lot, replacing CTRL+Alt+Left and CTRL+Alt+Right

[@omkarpawar1741]

alt+j, shift+f6, ctrl+alt+t, ctrl+alt+l, Alt+Insert

[@bvg129]

These are also works with all IDEA-based IDEs. They can be interacted with entirely without mouse.
And the best thing - you can change any of them to anything.

[@MarkLapasa]

In addition to keyboard shortcuts, getting a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse will save well beyond an hour a week. The application specific programable macros make life easier for the actions done so often, like pressing a single physical button from anywhere in the IDE to deploy debuggable build. No need to move the mouse to hit a UI button or press 3 keys on a keyboard.

[@mubaraknative]

But it is Very costly

[@bvg129]

Good one is Ctrl+[ or Ctrl+]
It move cursor to start or end of blocks of code, and works with shift

[@dreamer6228751]

Thanks for best video 😉)

[@codinginflow]

Ctrl + Shift + Enter

[@raghavaggarwal8644]

Just saw Rahul Pandey's video on same topic, let's see what Philipp has to offer 😅

[@RFbcc]

Thanks for great content!!
Does anybody know how to keep folded the functions that i folded even after the IDE restart ?

[@sooshil]

You missed really important and useful shortcut: Alt + J

[@djknight00]

What does it do?

[@sooshil]

@@djknight00
Select one word or part of word. And keep hitting Alt + J, so that you can keep selecting multiple occurrence of that word or part of word in your file. Then you can edit it live in all occurrences.

[@wenlongteo6272]

want to ask if using jetpack compose, fragment will no longer be needed?

[@timofeytenushko9946]

Not necessarily, you can use jetpack compose in fragments.

[@MaulikDodiaHollywoodMovieLover]

Knew all the shortcuts you mentioned.

[@LasseMagnussen]

Ctrl+g is my favourite. Multiple cursors

[@mikec4220]

Absolutely love Ctrl + G !!! Saves so much time!

[@Sunny-zh6go]

Knew it all 😎

[@rafaeldeazeredo3770]

Please make a video teaching how to use the Structural Replace of the Android Studio

[@sanelemhlanga2720]

Hello may you please show us how to make a food delivery app like Uber eats
I'm struggling with the ordering system part

[@mohammadjavadalijani]

Ma favorite shortcut is "Ctrl + Alt + T" gives you many options like write "if" , "for" , "try" and ...

[@mimobile1252]

Please make the video on mvvm with retrofit Api..

[@vahidgarousii]

Hello, if possible, teach us how to make hiltmm and vmstat shortcuts that you used in the tutorials.

[@irsathkareem7513]

Please Make video on Android Studio Profilers

[@puszkinowski]

Ctrl + Q - documentation check

[@nadilyt]

Save years of study with Philipp Lackner ^_^

[@leonljubicic545]

Helpful, but this is like 5% of shortcuts that can be used in everyday work. You missed a lot of great ones. I think that videos on topic like this need to be much more comprehensive.

[@PhilippLackner]

Then feel free to tell us your favorites here :)

[@thespacejedi]

@@PhilippLackner auto generate test files, generate method overrides, generate try catch blocks.. and many more. I suggest searching TH-cam for videos that provide a better overview on this topic. Other wise I genuinely love your other content!

[@leonljubicic545]

​@@PhilippLackner Multicursor is important.
For example, hold ALT + CLICK + move mouse up/down (puts cursor on every single).
The next one puts additional cursor on any position we want ( SHIFT + ALT + CLICK).
The last thing about multicursor I find very useful is that you can select any part of your code (for example select word 'print'), then press ALT + J and it will put additional cursor on the next word 'print'. If you want to put cursor on all 'print' in code, then press SHIFT + CTRL + ALT + J.
Hope this saves somebody's coding career :D

[@shahriarzaman4715]

I wish I knew cltr+shift+f ! I hadn’t to grep into projectDir...😥

[@ashispaul0013]

Or maybe use vim plugin

[@shrinivasmanjithaya2112]

Ctrl + Alt + L which reformats whole code in a file and clears unused imports..

[@mgroups]

I am already using VIM..

[@Berk45632]

For better marketing purposes, make the title, "52 hours a year." 😉😉
Bigger the better. 🤭
Jokes apart, great video!! Turns out I use most of them. 🥳

[@thespacejedi]

Just use vim
