Android Studio Shortcuts
Hey! Android Guru, Tell me the truth sometimes getting through the android environment and clicking your way through every function and command you need in the android studio environment could be freaking hard, Right! Yea! I know that! That’s why I decided to put up this article together to reduce the amount of times you click on the mouse and concentrate on the keyboard which makes your coding faster and above all the right way for developers, as a developer for years I’ve come to realised that we love keyboards. True or false? Well depends on you.
In the android studio environment, there many buttons and functions to click, thanks to INTELLIJ for making it simple even with the much functionality.
Even with the simplicity, developers still need ways to move through things quickly without the use of mouse, if you are that developer, then this article is for you.
