Android Studio - OS X : 'Dvorak - Qwerty ⌘' layout shortcuts switching doesn't work in Android Studio

Question

'Dvorak - Qwerty ⌘' layout, which map my key back to qwerty if i press ⌘ simply works well in most app but not Android Studio with Keymap Mac OS X 10.5+. Anyone have a workaround? Or I should just change my layout on my Mac back to just 'Dvorak' ?.

did you fix the problem? I am stuck in the same problem right now – Mont

Answer 1

In case anyone is looking for this - in my current version of Android Studio (v2.3.3), you can go into Android Studio > Preferences and select the Keymap option in the Preferences Pane.

From there, you can re-assign your shortcuts. I did the big ones: Find, Copy, Paste... When you reassign them, it will show Dvorak keys for the shortcuts - my shortcut for Find (Cmd + F) shows up as CMD + U.

Also, be sure to choose the Remove option, to remove any previously existing actions that might be paired with your new key combos.

And don't forget to hit Apply and not just OK !

Being unable to use Dvorak+QWERTY cmd is sad :( – Dialyze

You can generally set these keyboard shortcuts within each app. @Dialyze – Trivial

But that would defeat the purpose of Dvorak+QWERTYcmd keyboard layout 😰 – Dialyze
