While coding sometimes I have to press the undo keyboard shortcut longer than usual. Command+Z
If I press them too long the keyboard get disabled and I have to restart Android Studio
I press them too long to repeat many edits to a file. Then my keyboard is disabled.
I do not know why and I do not know how to enable it back.
I do not want to restart my IDE many times.
Anyone know how to prevent keyboard from being disabled on Android Studio?
I dealt with the same problem.
'hold down key' (long press) in Mac trigger a special character. looks like that Android Studio doesn't support special characters.
to disable this function in Mac open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
to enable this function - just replace the command to true:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true
after you enter the disable command - closing Android Studio and starting over will resolve that problem for good.

Press the key 'x' and hold it for 5 seconds. The keyboard will be back to normal again.
