How to remember the Android studio shortcuts

Have you ever wondered as a Android developer, how to remember the Android studio’s shortcuts.

It’s really hard until you start using it :)

But the question is, how do I know whether I have a shortcut for it.

And the answer is pretty simple, there is an awesome plugin available in Android studio called Key promoter

So, what this will do, every time when you miss a shortcut, it will notify you that you could have used a shortcut instead.

For eg, when you tap on the Run button using your mouse. It will throw you a pop up saying the shortcut for run button is shift+F10

It also keeps tracks of how many times you missed to use the shortcut.

Personally, I feel this is one of the best productivity tip that I can give to a Android developer.

My most used android shortcuts are,

shift+F10
ctrl+alt+l
ctrl+alt+o
ctrl+Shift+backspace
ctrl+e

Let me know yours too.

Happy coding.

App Store vs Play store

I always feel that play store search algorithm is better than App Store.

For eg. try dev.to in both and see the results.
