The location of the "Keyboard Shortcuts" is different between the case when the emulator is started as "standalone" , or as part of Android Studio.

When the emulator is started as "standalone", you can see the shortcuts by clicking on the "more" button:

emulator window

And going to the "Help" tab:

extended controls window

When the emulator is launched as part of Android Studio, go to Android Studio Settings -> Keymap -> Running Devices:

Android Studio Koala Keymap Settings

For Mac OS, the most important shortcuts are:

Cmd + Backspace: Back button

Cmd + O: Overview (The square button)

Cmd + Shift + H: Home (The center button)

You can see the rest from the Triple Dot menu, go to Help section.

In the Android Studio Emulator the ctrl+v doensn't works, just hold the left mouse button for a second and paste menu will appear (in textbox etc.).

You can check current config from console

emulator -help-keys

  When running the emulator, use the following keypresses:

    Ctrl-H          Home button
    Ctrl-M          Menu (Soft-Left) button
    Ctrl-Backspace  Back button
    Ctrl-Escape     Power button
    Ctrl-Equal      Volume up button
    Ctrl-Minus      Volume down button

  note that NumLock must be deactivated for keypad keys to work

Copy the text you want:

Ctrl + C = Copy

Then when the emulator is in focus, paste using:

Ctrl + V = Paste

Then in the edit text that you want, long click on the field until you see the emulator paste button pop up above your cursor. Click that and it should work.
