After updating to Android Studio 4 from AS 3.5, as a Mac user I found out none of the default shortcuts work properly, i.e cmd+shift+F does not open search everywhere dialog anymore?

To fix :
in Android studio, from top menu tap on Android studio then Preferences... and type keymap then in the drop-down on the right screen select Mac and apply.
all sorted now, all the shortcuts are aligned with the Mac keyboard.

Try control+shift+F.
I don't know why Android Studio makes this change, as that's such acommon used shortcut.

For those using VSCode keymaps, make sure you're using VSCode(macOS) keymaps in preferences > keymaps.
