Hey, what is up everyone. Norman from futurestud.io University here. Welcome to another video in our Android Studio Note series. In just a few minutes you'll learn a little trick to increase your productivity every single day.

Today, we've the extend or shrink selection shortcut. For Mac users, this shortcut is option+↑ and option+↓. For windows users it's Ctrl+W or Ctrl+Shift+W. What this does is: I've my cursor right here. When I click the shortcut extend it will automatically increase the scope of my selection. So you'll see how it automatically changes a small selection and you can go pretty far. Eventually, it'll have the entire file. But you can also go back. When I click option+↓ [or Ctrl+Shift+W] it'll decrease the scope until the beginning, where I didn't select anything.

This is extremely helpful if you want to extract a little piece of code.This is much easier than trying to do this with the mouse. If you want, you can start with the mouse and then fix it with the extend or shrink selection shortcut.

That's it. If you've learned something, give this video a thumbs up and subscribe for more videos. Make it rock!
