Use num keyboard as arrow keys in Android Studio

Question

I would like to use the num keyboard in android studio (linux version) as the arrow keys. This is what I'm used in windows and it is really annoying for me not to be able to do it on ubuntu. When bloq num is off and I press 8,4,2 or 6 keys on the num keyb nothing happen. It should move the caret towards the correct direction.

Is there anyway to make this working?

Cheers.

Answer 1

Yes you can. It may not be the most brilliant solution, but it works:

1) File->Settings->Keymap

2) Search for down (for example) in the edit box at the top

3) You'll see there's already a Down arrow key assigned to it. Right click on it and select "Add keyboard shortcut"

4) A dialog appears. Press the down arrow key on the numeric keypad and press Ok.

Voila, now your down arrow key will work. Do that for all the rest of the arrow keys
