Android Studio Problem Overview


I recently installed a new AndroidStudio4.1 IDE but it is missing the Local Changes tab inside the Version Control which is now renamed to Git? tab. I only see the Log tab. Is there any shortcut to get the Local Changes tab back? also I would like to have the Pull Requests and Console tabs in there.

I tried deleting all the AndroidStudio related folders from the library but none of that helped.

~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudio*
~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio*
~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudio*
~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio*
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio*

You can also use CMD+K to open this new tab on macOS. If someone knows the shortcut for Windows or Linux, feel free to add :D
