Android studio - Typing text in the editor searches the editor


When I type something in the editor where code is typed, it goes to the search(ctrl+F) bar. When I click anywhere on the editor, instead of cursor appearing the entire text is selected or the line is selected if the line is empty.

It works if I restart it, but happens again. Please help. I don't want to spend most of my programming life restarting android studio.


Solution

  • Just give a chance may help you,

    Try to make it default : reset Android Studio

    On Windows:

    Go to your User Folder - on Windows 7/8 this would be:

    [SYSDRIVE]:\Users\[your username] (ex. C:\Users\Amit)

    In this folder there should be a folder called .AndroidStudioBeta or .AndroidStudio

    Delete this folder (take backup of folder).
