Menu
I am very familiar with the Visual Studio IDE, and am new to working with Android Studio. Is there a way to configure Android Studio so that the keyboard shortcuts that I'm used to from Visual Studio can be used in Android Studio?

Keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio No matter which profile you chose, you can identify the shortcut for a command by opening the Options dialog box, expanding the Environment node, and then choosing Keyboard. You can also customize your shortcuts by assigning a different shortcut to any given command.
On the menu bar, choose Tools > Options. Expand Environment, and then choose Keyboard. Optional: Filter the list of commands by entering all or part of the name of the command, without spaces, in the Show commands containing box. In the list, choose the command to which you want to assign a keyboard shortcut.
Yes, this is possible.
This approach works on at least Android Studio v1.3 and later (per @Dazzibao's comment)
From the menu, select File | Settings. Select the Keymap option on the left, then from the Keymaps drop-down, select "Visual Studio". The defined shortcuts are then updated to Visual Studio settings.
Further customizations are able to be made, and applied. To export these settings, from the menu, choose File | Export Settings, and then select Key Maps, select a file, and save. These can be restored via File | Import Settings in the same way.
Note: Many of the shortcut keys that I was used to using C# are not set to be the same values using this method. Try the second approach (below) if not satisfied with Android Studio's "Visual Studio" key map assignments.
The same approach has been documented here for the IntelliJ IDE, and also works for Android Studio. It involves downloading a .jar settings file intended for Resharper users, and importing it into Android Studio.
File -> Import Settings -> <fullPathTo>/resharper.jar Keyboard shortcuts are now as they would be in Visual Studio. For example, from the Run menu, review the debug control flow shortcuts:
