→Android Studio Keyboard Shortcuts
Android Studio includes an abundance of keyboard shortcuts designed to save time when performing common tasks. A full keyboard shortcut keymap listing can be viewed and printed from within the Android Studio project window by selecting the Help -> Default Keymap Reference menu option.

Another useful mechanism for navigating within the Android Studio main window involves the use of the Switcher. Accessed via the Ctrl-Tab keyboard shortcut, the switcher appears as a panel listing both the tool windows and currently open files (Figure 2-7).

Once displayed, the switcher will remain visible for as long the Ctrl key remains depressed. Repeatedly tapping the Tab key whilst holding down the Ctrl key will cycle through the various selection options, whilst releasing the Ctrl key causes the currently highlighted item to be selected and displayed within the main window.
In addition to the switcher, navigation to recently opened files is provided by the Recent Files panel (Figure 2 8). This can be accessed using the Ctrl-E keyboard shortcut (Cmd-E on Mac OS X). Once displayed, either the mouse pointer can be used to select an option or, alternatively, the keyboard arrow keys can be used to scroll through the file name and tool window options. Pressing the Enter key will select the currently highlighted item.
