How to use Find Actions in Android studio

While working with Android apps, you use lots of actions (even without realizing they are actions) such as starting or debugging an app, running an emulator or synchronizing Gradle build files.

It takes a lot of time to discover an action and perform it manually.

Meet Find Actions

Find Actions helps you quickly find and apply any of the available actions, without digging through the menu. By an action, I mean an executable command available for the current caret position or any global command, for example, a command that opens a tool window.

To find an action,

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+A to launch Find Actions pop-up

2. Start typing the name of an action or setting, or try any related words. For example, you can type commit to find actions related to git commit (as shown below)

3. If the desired action appears in the list, you can execute it by clicking on it or selecting it with arrow keys and pressing Enter.
