Intro

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

Windows-specific shortcut notes

Tool windows use Alt. Alt+1 opens Project, Alt+9 opens Version Control, Alt+6 opens Logcat, the standard Windows 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 Windows shortcut list is available as a printable PDF. The tool window and code navigation shortcuts are the ones worth learning first.
