Android Studio: "double shift" for "search everywhere" not working

Question

In Android Studio, there are several related "search" utilities in the same window. The followings work well:

● find class: Ctrl + N

● find file: Ctrl + Shift + N

● find in path: Ctrl + Shift + F

When hovering over the "All" tab (find all/search everyehere), it shows a hint "Double Shift", indicating the shortcut key.

However, when pressing Shift twice, nothing happened.

There isn't an ide.suppress.double.click.handler to be unchecked as in IntelliJ IDEA, as in the following post:

What is the keyboard shortcut for "search everywhere" in Android Studio?

Answer 1

I don't know the exact answer to your question but there is something you should know: When I double press SHIFT this box appears that is not what you would expect for search everywhere and it doesn't give search results everywhere not specially in the project:

As you can see below it even doesn't return the phrase used in project and in the line just above the box:

But in the other hand CRTL+SHIFT+F returns what I expected to be returned:

In conclusion I feel that by having Double Shift not working you are not loosing anything useful and functional. Even though I couldn't answer your question I thought it might worth sharing...

PS: As you can see below you can press the magnifier icon to show the useless search Everywhere window:
