Intro
Android Studio on Linux uses the same keymap as Windows, Alt for tool windows and Ctrl for most editing and navigation commands, the standard JetBrains keymap it inherits from IntelliJ IDEA.

Android Studio on Linux uses the same keymap as Windows, Alt for tool windows and Ctrl for most editing and navigation commands, the standard JetBrains keymap it inherits from IntelliJ IDEA.
Tool windows use Alt. Alt+1 opens Project, Alt+9 opens Version Control, Alt+6 opens Logcat, the standard numbering for docked panels.
Search everything with a double Shift tap. Pressing Shift twice opens a box that searches code, files, classes, symbols, and menu actions at once.
Layout Editor shortcuts skip modifiers. B, O, D, R, and E switch modes and toggle panels with a single keypress, no Ctrl or Alt needed.
Run and Debug share the F9/F10 row. Shift+F10 runs the app, Shift+F9 debugs it, and F8/F7 step over and into code once a breakpoint hits.
The Android Studio Linux shortcut list is available as a printable PDF. The tool window and code navigation shortcuts are the ones worth learning first.
Double-tap Shift to open Search Everywhere, which searches code, files, classes, symbols, and menu actions in one box. Ctrl+N searches specifically by class name, and Ctrl+Shift+A opens Find Action for running a command by name.
Shift+F10 builds and runs the app; Shift+F9 starts it in the debugger. Once a breakpoint hits, F8 steps over the current line and F7 steps into a method call.
Yes. Android Studio ships one keymap for both Windows and Linux, so every shortcut, from tool windows to refactoring, uses the same keys on both platforms.
