00:00:00.005 --> 00:00:01.007
- [Instructor] Android Studio comes

2
00:00:01.007 --> 00:00:04.003
with a default set of keyboard shortcuts

3
00:00:04.003 --> 00:00:07.003
referred to collectively as the keymap.

4
00:00:07.003 --> 00:00:10.003
You can see an exhaustive list of these keyboard shortcuts

5
00:00:10.003 --> 00:00:14.004
in a PDF file by going to the menu and selecting help,

6
00:00:14.004 --> 00:00:16.003
keymap reference.

7
00:00:16.003 --> 00:00:19.005
This PDF document has two pages.

8
00:00:19.005 --> 00:00:22.005
The first page is the Windows and Linux keymap.

9
00:00:22.005 --> 00:00:23.007
And the second page has all

10
00:00:23.007 --> 00:00:27.007
the keyboard shortcuts for macOS.

11
00:00:27.007 --> 00:00:30.001
Now you can control these keyboard shortcuts

12
00:00:30.001 --> 00:00:33.008
and add your own custom ones, to do that,

13
00:00:33.008 --> 00:00:37.008
go to the Android Studio preferences or settings,

14
00:00:37.008 --> 00:00:40.001
and then select keymap.

15
00:00:40.001 --> 00:00:42.007
Notice that there are many different built-in keymaps

16
00:00:42.007 --> 00:00:45.005
available and you can choose from one of these,

17
00:00:45.005 --> 00:00:48.000
or you can create your own.

18
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.007
I'm starting with macOS because I'm working on a Mac and

19
00:00:51.007 --> 00:00:55.002
I'm going to click this gear icon and select duplicate.

20
00:00:55.002 --> 00:00:57.009
The name of the new keymap is macOS copy.

21
00:00:57.009 --> 00:01:00.000
I'll press enter to save that.

22
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.003
And now I can start making changes.

23
00:01:02.003 --> 00:01:04.008
Let's say that I'm using GitHub branches a lot,

24
00:01:04.008 --> 00:01:07.001
and I just want to make it a little bit faster

25
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:09.005
to open up the branches list.

26
00:01:09.005 --> 00:01:13.009
I'll go to version control systems here, to Git,

27
00:01:13.009 --> 00:01:17.004
then I'll scroll down and I'm looking for branches.

28
00:01:17.004 --> 00:01:19.002
I'll select it,

29
00:01:19.002 --> 00:01:21.003
then I'll double click on it and choose

30
00:01:21.003 --> 00:01:24.006
add keyboard shortcut.

31
00:01:24.006 --> 00:01:28.003
Now I can press the keyboard shortcut that I want to use.

32
00:01:28.003 --> 00:01:29.009
If I choose a keyboard shortcut

33
00:01:29.009 --> 00:01:32.007
that's already assigned to some other action,

34
00:01:32.007 --> 00:01:34.007
I'll be told that right away.

35
00:01:34.007 --> 00:01:36.008
And if I want to override it, I can,

36
00:01:36.008 --> 00:01:38.009
or I can try another one.

37
00:01:38.009 --> 00:01:42.000
So I'm working on a Mac keyboard and I'll choose

38
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.006
Option and then the letter B,

39
00:01:43.006 --> 00:01:45.004
and that keyboard shortcut is clear.

40
00:01:45.004 --> 00:01:49.005
So I'll click OK to save it and notice that that is now

41
00:01:49.005 --> 00:01:54.006
documented on the right side and I'll click OK to save that.

42
00:01:54.006 --> 00:01:56.008
And now anytime I want to see my branch list,

43
00:01:56.008 --> 00:01:58.008
I can press Option and B

44
00:01:58.008 --> 00:02:01.003
and the branches list shows up.

45
00:02:01.003 --> 00:02:02.008
As you use Android Studio,

46
00:02:02.008 --> 00:02:05.006
you'll find that you're using certain features a lot

47
00:02:05.006 --> 00:02:07.005
and others not so much.

48
00:02:07.005 --> 00:02:10.007
And then you can customize the keymap to create your own

49
00:02:10.007 --> 00:02:12.009
keyboard shortcuts for those actions

50
00:02:12.009 --> 00:02:14.004
that you use all the time.
