How can I run the current file in PyCharm? I would like a single hotkey that will execute the current file (whether normal file, scratch file, or scratch buffer) using the project default python interpreter. I would like to NOT have to create a custom run configuration, but just launch with the default Python configuration. Is such a thing possible?
As it turns out, the action I was seeking is "Run context configuration" (or "Debug context configuration" for debugging). The default key binding on Windows is ctrl+shift+f10, or ctrl+option+R on Mac, as Ev. Kounis pointed out, although you can bind it to any key you like.
These settings can be found under the "Other" section in File->Settings->Keymap. The easiest way to find them is to simply use the search box.
Just right click on the tab of your file and click run "file name" or you can press CTRL+shift+F10
The key combination you are looking for is Ctrl + Shift + F10. This will run the current script with current being the one displayed in the viewer.
There are several alternatives:
Run context configuration from editor shortcut:
Mac: ⌃⇧R
Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + F10
You can right click on the file, and then run Run 'filename'.
You can also run the shortcut to Find Action and then type run:
Mac: ⇧⌘A
Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + A
If the current file was just run, you can simply use the Run shortcut:
Mac: ⌃R
Windows/Linux: Shift + F10

PyCharm Shorcuts for Mac OS X
PyCharm Shorcuts for Windows and Linux
Alt+Shift+F10 and then select the script you want to run.
After that Shift+F10 will run the last script that has been run.
Keyboard shortcuts can be different on some machines. So you can just click right key on mouse and then "Run "(also you can select part of code and do the same)
File->Settings->Keymap->Run->Run and see your current keymap
Basically, if you just need to run the current .py file in PyCharm. Right-click inside the file, and you can click the "Run file.py" button, and it also tells you the shortcut which on Mac is Control + Shift + R.
To Run/Execute current python file in Pycharm use following keys in windows machine
Shift+Ctrl+F10
OR
for selected code (specific line that are selected/marked)
Shift+Alt+E
Running file with Ctrl+Shift+F10 or via Run menu has some disadvantages. For example, you cannot use the custom redirect input file.
I have created a project it is that will actually allow you to use currently opened py file when you press run / debug in a standard way. My project will remain actual at least until jetbrains fix non working macros in configurations. See bug report.
As of PyCharm 2022.2 there's a built-in "Current File" configuration.
When intalling on Pycharm select :
Add launchers dir to the PATH: Allows running this PyCharm instance from the Console without specifying the path to it.

Everytime I run python file at vscode(in this case I press Run python File in Terminal button), terminal is opened as Powershell always.
my select default profile settings are command prompt. so when I open a new terminal, it opens with cmd. However, when I run the python file even though the cmd terminal is open, a new powershell terminal is launched. and I don't know why...
How do i fix it ?
Yeah, it's an issue of VSCode In version v1.60.0. You can refer to GitHub issue #132150 for more details.
There are a lot of people report this kind of problem recently.
And the only workaround to this problem is to roll back the version to v1.59 until the release of v1.60.1 for now.
There might be an issue in your select default profile settings. However, you can always choose a default shell by pressing ctrl + ~ (~ tilda key) You can open up a shell in vscode, as seen below. By default this might open up powershell, from there you can select your default shell.
Note: Some of the options seen in the image require WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to be installed and activated on any Windows system. Clicking any of those options will open a new tab of that shell, but if you click on the '+' plus button or restart vscode later, it will go back to the default shell (powershell) in our case.
Now click the option on the bottom that says select default profile
And you should see a window like this:
From there you can select the default shell in this window. And these changes will be saved, so anytime you click the '+' plus button to open a new shell instance, or relaunch vscode it will open your selected shell choice by default.
And that's it! From here you can select cmd since you want that to be your default shell. And you should be good to go. You can change these settings at anytime, by following these steps again.
Since you're using Python. I suggest using powershell for one reason. You can use a tool known as chocolatey which is like a package manager for windows that can download, install/update, and most importantly set environment variable paths in windows automatically. Which might be a lot easier than doing it manually on cmd.
To run the python script you can do the following:
$ python /path/to/file.py
If you want to run your python file in the terminal with cmd then you just open a new terminal and type the command
python "path/to/file.py"
If it doesn't work try using
py "path/to/file.py"
I am practicing python code and executing it through command line. each time i have to execute my python file i go to cmd and write
D:\PythonPractice>python myClass.py
Is there any standard and comfortable way available to execute python code quickly?
If you are executing the same command, with no changes to arguments or anything, you can pack it in a .bat file (windows executable)
Name it something like myscript.bat
D:\PythonPractice>python C:\path\to\myClass.py
Put full path inside it. Now double click will do.
Use PyCharm Software by JetBrains (same company who developed Android studio and Kotlin language), it will help you in many ways .
Run Python with single press of a button.

Debugging the code as smooth as possible.
It is Awesome, I am using it for past couple of months.
you can change file association which controls what to do when invoking filename in command line. For instance, when you just type text filename in cmd, notepadd will be opened, for word docs Word or other document editor.
Have a look into following link from google or you can fiddle by yourself starting from Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Default Programs > Set Associations. Select a file type in the list and click Change Program.
Alternatively,you can use any of Python IDE (PyCharm,PyDev etc.) so you will be able to run directly scripts from editor.
With Notepad++, you can also create a shortcut to be able to launch your python script :
Menu Run > Run (or press F5)
Choose the python .exe (default in C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\python.exe
Then add this code next to the path : "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
This will allow to execute the current file
example of command with Python 3.6 :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\python.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
Then save the command, by assigning a shorcut key, it's better with a modifier like SHIFT (SHIFT + F10)
Now you can launch any script with this shortcut.
If I go to "tools" and select "python console", and enter several lines of code, how do I execute this? If my cursor is at the end of the script, I can just hit enter. But how can I run the code using keyboard shortcuts if the cursor is not at the end? In Spyder this is done using shift+enter, but I can't figure out how to do it here. I've seen places say control+enter, but that doesn't work. Thanks!
If you use Win 10, 64Bits. Run your codes using Ctrl + Shift + F10 or simply right click on the workspace and click Run from the options.
in mac.
you can use fn+shift+f10 and happy coding with python
From Jetbrains' official documentation:
PyCharm suggests several ways to run a script opened in the editor:
First, you can use the keyboard shortcut ⌃⇧R
Second, you can use the context menu command (here Run Solver), invoked by right-clicking the editor background
Use the main menu Run | Run, Run | Run 'Solver'
Finally, it is possible to run a script from the main toolbar, using the temporary run/debug configuration Solver
Right click on project name / select New / select Python File
Pycharm needs to know you're running a Python file before option to run is available
I have Python 2.7.5 that installed with ArcGIS 10.2.2. When I first right-clicked a .py script I'd previously written it listed the "Edit with IDLE" option in the context menu. However, this option no longer appears when I right-click a .py file.
I have read numerous threads concerning this issue and attempted some of them, such as modifying/removing registry keys and then reinstalling/repairing the software. I am not interested in using an IDE at this point, though many will be happy to know I intend to use an IDE later on. Right now, the purpose is to fix the problem rather than avoid and work around it.
I appreciate the help I've gotten from the online community in the past, and I'm confident someone will come through with a solution for me.
How do I get "Edit with IDLE" back in the context menu?
Most of the time when this problem occurs, people will read answers directing them into the windows registry, often unnecessarily.
In the majority of cases, the registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\Edit with IDLE\command
will already exist and have the correct value, but it will only be used by Windows shell context menu if .py files are set by default to open with python.exe.
This is the first thing to check, and solves the problem in the majority of cases:
right click on a .py file
open with...
choose default program...
tick always use the selected program to open this kind of file
choose python.exe
This runs the script in a terminal, but also sets the filetype back to python.
Now check the right click menu again.
As a newer update, for people that are having the "missing idle" issue with Windows 10 using Python 3.6 (64-bit).
From my experience, this happens when you install other python editors, and you change your default app to open with that editor.
The easiest way to fix this issue is to click the "start" button, then navigate to settings --> System --> Default Apps --> "Choose default apps by file type". Scroll down till you find ".py" file type and click on the icon and choose "Python"(has a little rocket ship in the icon). This will change your default app back to "Python.exe", and the context menu "edit with idle" will appear once again on your ".py" files.
Hope this helps!

Here's a reg file to add the command to edit with IDLE for Python.File (.py) and Python.NoConFile (.pyw) file types. It's for Python 2.7, installed in C:\Python27, so substitute the paths to pythonw.exe and idle.pyw that are relevant to your installation. Save it to a .reg file. Then right-click and choose Merge.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\Edit with IDLE\command]
#="\"C:\\Python27\\pythonw.exe\" \"C:\\Python27\\Lib\\idlelib\\idle.pyw\" -e \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.NoConFile\shell\Edit with IDLE\command]
#="\"C:\\Python27\\pythonw.exe\" \"C:\\Python27\\Lib\\idlelib\\idle.pyw\" -e \"%1\""
Another option would be to just open the file with the idle by choosing open with:
C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.3\Lib\idlelib\idle.bat
as the default program.
I got the "Edit with IDLE" back with the option "Repair" of the deinstallation-menu.
Adding a little more detail to Teodorico Levoff's answer for those who need a little more explanation, like myself.
Open a text editor, such as Notepad, and copy/paste the following, but be sure to modify the paths to pythonw.exe and idle.pyw so that they match the paths in your own system:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\Edit with IDLE\command]
#="\"C:\Python27\pythonw.exe\" \"C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw\" -e \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.NoConFile\shell\Edit with IDLE\command]
#="\"C:\Python27\pythonw.exe\" \"C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw\" -e \"%1\""
Save this text file as idle.reg in the Python27 folder, so you now have a file that resembles this (with your own file path, of course):
C:\Python27\idle.reg
Right-click the idle.reg file, and in the context menu, click Merge. A couple instructions may appear or notices that require a Yes or Continue that I selected. In the end, my .py files give me the option to "Edit in IDLE" again.
I hope these explanations are helpful. Big thank you to those who've solved this problem before and shared there solutions.
For opening your file in IDLE mode or in python exe mode u can follow this simple steps. Works for me in my windows 7 system.
For IDLE mode:
Select the file and press right mouse
press open with---->choose default program
press browse and go to the folder where your python programm is installed
in python folder search IDLE and select the batch file
press open and your file will be open in IDLE edit mode
For python.exe mode:
In command prompt write "where python"
copy the path from cmd
Select the file and press right mouse
press open with---->choose default program
press browse and go to the selected path
press open and your file will be open in IDLE edit mode
As click to save button to save your python code there will be Two Extensions...1) .py and 2) .pyw.
So for Python 2 you have to save python program using extension .pyw.
I think the majority of cases are caused by the Py launcher that comes with Python 3. When you install Python 3 alongside Python 2.x, the *.py and *.pyw files are associated to run with the new Py launcher. Since *.py and *.pyw files are no longer associated with Python.exe, that breaks the "Edit with IDLE" and similar context menu options, despite all relevant registry entries being present and correct.
Right clicking a file and choosing Python.exe and selecting "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option fixes the problem (even if Python.exe seems to be already set as the default program) but then you lose the Py launcher functionality. This may well be considered a bug with the Python 3.x installer and I think should be fixed at that level by the Python developers.
Meanwhile, I'm sure registry wizards can find a workaround for this but unfortunately, that's beyond me at the moment.
I followed Teodorico Levoff's directions above, as well as Abyx's from the following page:
https://superuser.com/questions/280636/trying-to-edit-a-python-file-but-the-edit-with-idle-has-disappeared-when-i-rig
However, it only works partially. When I right-click on a .py file, no 'Edit with IDLE' shows up. Choosing 'Edit' opens the file with IDLE. Also, the python icon is not associated with .py files. I decide to associate it with Notepad, then associate it with Python again. That works the magic. The icon is back, and so is the 'Edit with IDLE' option. Hope it helps.
This issue is arising because of the problem in the registry of Python installation. While one may edit the registry and resolve the issue, the simple solution for this can be:
DELETE ALL THE REGISTRIES pertaining to the py extensions and
Re-install Python and let installation take its course of action.
The problem will definitely resolve.
Happy Programming
After uninstalling both 2.7 and 3.6, reinstalling 3.6, I ran the init.py ,main.py, and idle.pyw found in C:\Program Files\python\Lib\idlelib and the edit with menu reappeared
I was an Emacs user and I used to find and open files with shortcuts Ctrl + x + f
Now my Python IDE is Spyder so I'm wondering if there is an equivalent command?
I have tried Ctrl + N and Ctrl + O but both returns a window which I need to use the mouse to select by clicking on it.
There is nothing as sophisticate as Ctrl+X+F in Spyder but you can use one of our IPython consoles along with our owm version of the %edit magic to navigate the file system like you'd do in a regular terminal and open files with it.
This is an example (in Linux)
In [1]: %edit /home/<Tab>
(where <Tab> means pressing the Tab key) will show you a widget with these completions (in my case)
carlos/
lost+found/
Then you can end up with %edit /home/carlos/foo.py and after hitting Enter foo.py will be opened in the Editor (if it exists, of course).
Additional Notes:
You can use the %cd magic to change your current working directory in an IPython console.
After you open Spyder, the initial cwd is the one shown in our working directory toolbar (usually placed above our Object Inspector).
I use the File Explorer window in Spyder, I find it really handy.
