Copy-paste is not working in Android Studio on Mac
There are several reasons why you could be experiencing this
- You are using ClipMenu and Android studio doesn't like it
- Your keybinding is messed up.
To solve keybinding issue press File -> Settings and check what the keybindings are, you have maybe changed it or imported settings from somebody else. See the image as a reference.
Note: the filter of copy, you need to do this for paste too.
To fix the issue with ClipMenu.
- Right click on "Application/IntelliJ IDEA 14.app"
- choose "Show Package Contents"
- edit
bin/idea.properties
- add this property
ide.mac.useNativeClipboard=True
- restart IntelliJ IDEA.
There is a YouTrack issue with further information
this worked for me
go to file menu and click on invalidate Caches/Restart ,after this confirm the dialog open .
Go to File-> Setting->Editor(Under IDE Settings)->Change value of maximum number of contents to keep in clipboard to 1(Under Limits section)
