Intro

Android Studio on Mac uses Command for tool windows and most editing commands, but Run and Debug use Control instead, since Command already owns those keys at the system level.

Mac-specific shortcut notes

Tool windows use Cmd. Cmd+1 opens Project, Cmd+9 opens Version Control, Cmd+6 opens Logcat.

Run and Debug use Control, not Command. Control+R runs the app and Control+D debugs it, macOS already claims Command+R and Command+D system-wide.

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 Cmd or Option needed.
