Shortcut key to list attribute value in xml layouts in Android Studio

In Android Studio, when I open a layout file in text mode and enter in an attribute such as:



android:layout_width="match_parent"


It would be nice if there was a keyboard shortcut that I could use to list all the available attribute values for the attribute. In the above example, if I enter the letter "m", it presents me with matches including "match_parent". But I would like to see all the available attribute values.

  • Usually all attributes should be shown in the drop-down when the value string is empty (""), and the cursor is inside it. If it isn't visible, try pressing Ctrl + Space. That usually displays the possibilities.

  • Unfortunately Ctrl + Space on a Mac brings up the Spotlight Search input which is part of the OS.

The 'Basic Code Completion' shortcut can be used for this. The default keymap is Ctrl + Space. For Mac users, this will clash with the shortcut for Spotlight, and they can set a custom keymap or follow one of the other solutions given at this question.
