Project structure shortcut key not working in Android Studio?

The Docs says, it'll open up the project structure dialog by pressing shortcut CtrlAltShiftS as given in here. But still, if you can't open that project structure window by shortcut, there should be an issue with your keybindings. Go to Preferences > Keymap and check for it or press Ctrl+Shift+A and start typing the name of a command and it will show you all matching commands and their key bindings if they have one. That's really convenient for looking up the key shortcut for something if you have a hint of what it's called.

In most dialogs/windows there's a search box, and you can usually just start typing to start a search. It's especially good for preferences, where there are so many options that are hard to find.

As a quick fix, you can modify the key-binding for the project structure dialog as given in the screenshot.

As Rohit faced a problem in Ubuntu with the format code shortcut, this is due to the Ctrl + Alt + L key being used to lock the screen in Ubuntu.

I found that Ubuntu handles this keyboard shortcut first. So you should bind the Ctrl + Alt + L keyboard shortcut to something else so that it doesn't conflict with Ubuntu.

Steps

1. Go to System Tools → System Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts tab → System → Lock Screen.

2. Select the row New Accelerator..., then press any special key with the Alpha key (e.g. Shift + L). You should've successfully changed the keyboard shortcut.

3. Check if the keyboard shortcut now works in Android Studio.

Alternative method

Ctrl + Alt + Shift + L (to show a dialog)
