Like in Jupyter notebook shift+tab is the shortcut to show documentation and Tab key for suggestions (.ipynb). Similarly in VS code what is the shortcut if I am using it for Python?
In VS code, while using .JS suggestions are coming as I type but for .py its not showing any suggestions.
Looks like you need to install an extension for python for autocomplete to work. Try this link to install the required extension and get access to IntelliSense.

Then ctrl + space should bring up intellisense.

Is there an IDE/code editor for Python that allows a user to highlight and run a portion of syntax on the window like how SAS allows it in its UI? I'm aware of code blocks in Jupyter Notebook but I would like to know if there's something that's more flexible/free-form exists?
there something like this in Spyder you can divide your code in executable cells like in Jupyter or other notebooks and you can execute with Ctrl + Enter.
This hotkeys and shortcuts have been discussed here if you need more informations.
Stack answer on hotkeys in Spyder
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 wanted to give VSC a try for developing some Python programs, where I only used PyCharm before. One of the most helpful features for me in Pycharm was the PyDev Console, where I can quickly try small snippets of code (think 3-10 lines), and adjust it to work the way I want it to.
I see VSC has a console, but it's much more like the regular IDLE console, where it's kind of hard to write these snippets of code (fixing something 2 lines prior for example is pretty much impossible).
I've been searching for an extension that'll give me a PyCharm-like console experience in VSC, but have been unable to find one. Is is out there? Or is there another way to get to the same result (like setting up a custom console based on the same PyDev console)?
Have you tried Jupyter Notebook and Interactive? There are provided by the Jupyter Extension which is bound with Python Extension.
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), with the command of:
Jupyter: Create New Blank Notebook
Jupyter: Create Interactive Window
You can refer to the official docs for more details.
Whenever I try to run my python code or even the simplest hellow command in VS Code's termilnal, it is just showing this:
C"/users/admin/document/my python file
Why does it happen?
Oh, this is more like an VS-Code question. But anyways: I believe you have to use a command to run the file, just like this:
py <file-path-here>
Example:
py example.py
Also, maybe try installing the Python extension in VSCode.
And make sure you have Python installed correctly (check the button "add Python to path" in the first page of the Python installation setup).
If all of this does not work, make sure to select the correct Python version in VSCode by doing this:
Go to top menu, click view, command pallete, type Python Select Interpreter and choose the correct version.
Also, check if the file ends with .py so VSCode knows that you are working with a Python file.

I use Sublime Text and am using the terminal to run my code.
I would prefer to use the Python Shell to run my code, as it has color and is not so hard to look at.
Is there any easy way to do this other than saving then opening in IDLE?
You can use ctrl-b to run your python in sublime. If you want to use a different interpreter you can customise under Tools -> Build System
I suggest you check out IPython. You can run it through your terminal or through an IPython Notebook in your browser.
Stick with Sublime text. It's a popular text editor with syntax highlighting for several different programming languages. Here's what you need to do:
Press Ctrl + Shift + P to bring up command palette and enter "python".
Choose the option that says something like "Set syntax to Python".
Enter Python code then Ctrl + Shift + B to build the project.
Code will run below in another view(you will probably be able to move it to the side).
This is the standard procedure for a python setup in sublime text, but you may need to install
SublimeREPL for python in order to get user input. Just give it a Google search.
