PyCharm Hotkeys

This page covers 196 keyboard shortcuts for PyCharm, JetBrains' Python IDE. The shortcuts are grouped into nine sections, including CREATE AND EDIT, BUILD RUN AND DEBUG, REFACTOR AND CLEAN UP, and VERSION CONTROL, among others.

CREATE AND EDIT and NAVIGATE IN CONTEXT are good starting points since they cover writing code and moving around a file - things you do in every session. FIND EVERYTHING is also worth picking up early because it replaces a lot of manual searching.

The actions are the same, but the key combinations often differ. Mac uses Cmd and Option where Windows uses Ctrl and Alt. The page shows both, so check the tab for your OS before committing anything to memory.

CREATE AND EDIT, NAVIGATE IN CONTEXT, and BUILD RUN AND DEBUG see daily use for most developers. ANALYZE AND EXPLORE, REFACTOR AND CLEAN UP, and VERSION CONTROL tend to come up situationally - keep them in view but do not stress about memorizing them upfront.
