Keyboard get disabled on Android Studio on Mac

I dealt with the same problem.

'hold down key' (long press) in Mac trigger a special character. looks like that Android Studio doesn't support special characters.

to disable this function in Mac open the Terminal and enter the following command:

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

to enable this function - just replace the command to true:

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

after you enter the disable command - closing Android Studio and starting over will resolve that problem for good.

Press the key 'x' and hold it for 5 seconds. The keyboard will be back to normal again.
