Copy-paste does not work in Android Studio on Mac

Question

I had a strange problem with the Mac version of Android Studio (i.e. I can not copy ( ⌘ + C ) and paste ( ⌘ + V ) any text). I have no idea why this is so weird. My question may be silly, but I ran into this problem since I started working from Windows to Mac . Any solutions and alternatives would be very helpful to me. I am completely stuck on this issue for the past two days.

Answer 1

There are several reasons why you may encounter this.

• You use ClipMenu , but you don't like Android studios.
• Your key binding is broken.

To solve the key binding problem, click File → Preferences and check what keywords are, maybe you changed it or imported settings from someone else. See Image as a reference.

Note: copy filter, you need to do this for insertion as well.

To fix the problem using ClipMenu.

• Right click on "Application / IntelliJ IDEA 14.app"
• select "Show Package Contents"
• edit bin/idea.properties
• add this property ide.mac.useNativeClipboard=True
• restart IntelliJ IDEA.

There is a YouTrack problem with additional information.

Answer 2

it worked for me

go to the file menu and click on the invalid cache / restart, then confirm opening the dialog.

Answer 3

Go to File-> Settings-> Editor (in the IDE Settings section) → Change the value of the maximum amount of content to save to clipboard 1 (in the "Restrictions" section)

Answer 4

Make sure your keyboard layouts are not corrupted. Go to Android Studio> Settings> Keyboard> Main menu> Change. If copy and paste is correctly installed there, then there must be something else on your system that stops it

Answer 5

I have this question due to PopClip I need to disable it in order to get hotkeys.

Answer 6

I got this error using ClipMenu (on Mac) by setting useNativeClipboard=true .

I solved the problem using ClipMenu to paste the file into Android Studio (show the ClipMenu menu, then select the item)
