Tips / Custom Shortcuts

These are the custom shortcuts I found helpful to assign.

• Ctrl + ; : Clone Caret Below(Useful for multiline editing)
• Ctrl + Shift + G : Run Gradle Task(Useful for choosing which Gradle build to run, for Android Studio)
• Ctrl + Shift + F5 : Sync Gradle(Useful for applying change to Gradle files)

Alt + Shift + Left Click to add an additional cursor is another great shortcut that I find myself using constantly.

Ctrl + Alt + Z: Revert Changes can also be a time-saver when you're refactoring and a class gets changed unintentionally (usually due to comments/Javadoc matching) or you royally screw up your code.

Cmd + U -> go to super method if it is overrided

Yo I think this is pretty good stuff
