Copy-paste is not working in Android Studio on Mac

There are several reasons why you could be experiencing this

  • You are using ClipMenu and Android studio doesn't like it
  • Your keybinding is messed up.

To solve keybinding issue press File -> Settings and check what the keybindings are, you have maybe changed it or imported settings from somebody else. See the image as a reference.

Note: the filter of copy, you need to do this for paste too.

To fix the issue with ClipMenu.

  • Right click on "Application/IntelliJ IDEA 14.app"
  • choose "Show Package Contents"
  • edit bin/idea.properties
  • add this property ide.mac.useNativeClipboard=True
  • restart IntelliJ IDEA.

this worked for me

go to file menu and click on invalidate Caches/Restart ,after this confirm the dialog open .


Go to File-> Setting->Editor(Under IDE Settings)->Change value of maximum number of contents to keep in clipboard to 1(Under Limits section)
