Question 278464 in Android Studio Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Android Studio: Ctrl + C is very slow

on Windows, every time i press ctrl + c, it takes 1-3 seconds to copy the selected text to my clipboard.

it is not "not working"; it is just working very slow.

if you are impacted, please upvote issue on google bug tracker

i already tried answers from this stackoverflow question, but the issue persists:

  1. i don’t have IdealVim installed – i can’t disable it, since i don’t have it installed
  2. the setting "Maximum number of contents to keep in clipboard" doesn’t exist for me – the setting doesn’t exist in my version of Android Studio
  3. first copying a blank line doesn’t work – copying blank line causes same lag
  4. restarting and invalidating caches will fix the issue for a few minutes, but then it just comes back

    I’m seeing this also right now…basically hanging for a few seconds every time. Trying to figure out why…
