I have been working on small Android apps, and I just want to share some of my favorite keyboard shortcuts. Some of them were manually added by me.
Keyboard shortcuts are one of my must-haves for productivity as a programmer, as they let me navigate through code faster, allowing me to focus on creating new modules and solving problems.
Note: I am using Windows.
