"Hot Reload" hotkey not working

[APTGithubAcct]

Steps to Reproduce

Upgraded my version of flutter and android studio to the latest and the hot reload hotkey isn't working. Ctrl + \ does nothing, but Ctrl + Shift + \ (hot restart) still works.

I faced this problem too and solved it. I thought the problem was caused by something else using the same shortcut (Ctrl+/), so when I pressed the keys, the Hot reload command did not respond even though it was running from the GUI of Android Studio, and this was true, so the problem is with the keymap.

Solution steps:

1. Go to Settings>Keymap then search for hot reload (as shown in the picture below)

2. Double-click on it then choose “Add Keyboard Shortcut”

3. Then when the window appears, make sure that the shortcut is Ctrl+/, then when you press the OK button, a warning will appear that there is another shortcut that uses the same keys, remove it for this action (you can remove it now and change it later from the previous window if you want, I removed it, and if I need it I will search for it again and give it a different new shortcut value).

4. It's working now 🔥✨

This worked for me too, but the problem is that an Android Studio upgrade caused this problem. I did not mess around with hotkeys or anything just before this problem occurred. I made this issue so that the Flutter devs can figure out what might have caused it in their upgrade. I appreciate the workaround though, thank you!
