Is it possible to trigger a python script using keyboard shortcut in windows? I could not find any guiding resources relating the same? can someone guide me with it!
On Windows OS create shortcut of Python script and open its properties using Alt+Enter or using context menu. In the shortcut key option add your custom key.

I use VS Code on a Mac laptop. If I'm using Python I can run the code by pressing the little arrow in the top right,
However, I can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut for this. There is an old question, How to execute Python code from within Visual Studio Code, but all the answers there seem either to be obsolete or not to work on a Mac. One of them says that the F5 key should work, but my Mac has a useless touchbar instead of function keys so it's no help to me.
tl;dr is there a shortcut to run Python code on a modern VS Code installation besides F5, or an easy way to set one up?
I'm using Windows so i can't give you a specific answer. But Code > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts, search with keyword run python file, you will get related shortcuts.
I think you can bind the shortcut by yourself.
You can try with ctrl+shift+b in windows or ⌘+shift+b in MacOS.
I've created a simple script that executes a "moving mouse and keyboard" sequence. Although currently to get this to work I use a Shell (Idle) to run and that is to slow with boot up time and such.
Is there a way to have this python file on desktop och with a hotkey swiftly run the code? I tried doing it through terminal but it doesn't like my module.
Some info:
This is for both mac and windows.
The module I imported is pyautogui from PyPi and it works in the shell.
Thank you in advance!
Some things to consider when trying to setup a hotkey to successfully execute any kind of command:
Each Operating System has its own ways to setup hotkeys and sometimes this may differ between distributions as well as between desktop managers.
Many of the relevant how-to-descriptions are easily found via regular search machines as Google.
If you would in fact like your script to set-up its own hotkeys you would have to re-write it in such a manner that it can detect the current operating system/distribution/desktop manager by itself and execute the commands relevant to that particular set-up.
I'll explain my question: is it possible to write a Python script which interacts with OS X architecture in a high-level way?
For example, can I gain control on Mac OS X windows resizing from a Python script? Are there modules for that? I'm not finding any.
To push things even further, would I be able to control keyboard shortcuts too? I mean, with Python, could I write a script that opens a terminal window everytime I type cmd + Enter from wherever I am in that moment, as if it was a system shortcut (Awesome WM style, if you know what I'm talking about)?
Hope I've been clear.
The 2nd one you can't do for sure, since the events are grabbed by other processes.
You should look for a osx specific library for doing that and then write a python wrapper around it.
So, I have a python script running I the background, and I want it to trigger X function whenever a key combination is pressed. How would I implement that? The problem is that the app will be running in the background, so it won't have focus from the OS.
Well, it basicly has nothing to do with python. That heavily depends on the operating system you're working on.
You can use XLib under Linux (http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/) or wxPython under Windows (http://wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.Window-class.html#RegisterHotKey)
Another idea would be to hook the system keyboard events (through pyHook) and try to catch any hotkeys.
Because of vision problems, I have to keep the font in my Python programs in pycharm larger than the default setting. When I execute any program, the run window comes up at the bottom and every time I have to start working on the Python code in the editor window, I have to close the run window using a mouse.
Is there a way to close it using the keyboard shortcut? I could not find anything in the key map but there are so many settings that there is a chance that I may have missed it.
I also tried with using the distraction free option and it works very well. However, when I tried to find something within the code, it does not bring up the in-line window that allows me to type the keyword is searched for.
Please suggest if there is any way to close the run window or if there is any workaround so that I can return to working in a larger editor window.
Thank you for any inputs
shift+esc will hide the run window from within PyCharm.
If you want to access the run menu use: ctrl+shift+A
You can get a helpful cheatsheet of commands from within PyCharm by going to help -> Keymap Reference. This will provide the default key mapping for Windows and Linux
Have a look at Preferences -> Keymap under Tool Windows -> Run.
On Mac it is CMD+4.
